Product Description
Manual of Smoking Cessation provides the crucial knowledge required if you are involved in helping smokers to stop. The manual provides facts, figures, suggested interventions and sources of further information to assist in providing evidence-based treatment for smokers wishing to stop. This manual covers the core content areas and key learning outcomes described in the Standard for Training in Smoking Cessation (Health Development Agency, 2003). Manual of Smoking Cessation is structured in two concise parts: Part 1 provides essential information on smoking demographics, along with the risks of smoking and the benefits of stopping; Part 2 offers a range of practical advice to implement with clients. The Smoking Cessation Manual is an essential text for all those involved in the provision of smoking cessation services, including smoking cessation counsellors, nurses, pharmacists, doctors, health promotion officers, dental professionals, and other members of the health care team. The book is an invaluable resource for those learning about smoking cessation, and a succinct aide-memoire to those already practicing in the field. The authors represent the 'who's who' in the field of smoking cessation and are affiliated to University College London and Cancer Research UK (Andy McEwen and Robert West), St Bartholomew's & Royal London School of Medicine and Dentistry (Peter Hajek), and the University of Auckland (Hayden McRobbie). |

Appropriate intervention ideas, inappropriate demographics and epidemiology by James R. Carey (Chicago, IL)  3 Stars
March 19, 2007
I am a Smoking Cessation Peer Advocate for a CBO in Chicago. I was very excited to receive/review this product. I was very disappointed when I received it, however. All of the Epidemiological data is based on estimates derived from the UK population, not the US. There is NO mention of this in the book description, and I believe it to be a fundamental flaw as the data is not generalizable to the US population due to varying demographics. I will state that the intervention data and suggestions are appropriate for almost any demographic, although I was extremely disappointed to discover that the authors made NO mention of the LGBT community, a population with severe disparity regarding smoking prevalence. Major tobacco companies have targeted the LGBT community for years, often referring to them as SCUM (Sub-Culture Urban Marketing). I believe that the authors may want to consider a revised addition including these revisions.

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT, read as one word rather than letters), is one of the most exciting developments in psychotherapy to occur in the last fifty years. ACT departs from conventional psychotherapeutic models, which strive to "fix," "control," or "get rid of" unwanted thoughts and behaviors. Instead, ACT demonstrates how to accept uncomfortable or painful situations without engaging with them, allowing them to pass away or diminish as they will. ACT is...
