“…The present study indicates that good support should include a focus on the individuals' needs and choices. Similar findings are reported in the qualitative study by Rae et al [24]. Future studies should investigate how individual needs and choices can be included in methods for smoking cessation for people with schizophrenia.…”

“…Physicians who meet patients with mental illness often identify their smoking status, but without regularly offering this health care intervention [23].

Smokers with schizophrenia experience health as a struggle to maintain a dignified life and to maintain control over their psychotic symptoms. In smoking cessation programmes, health care providers must pay attention to the fear that people with schizophrenia have of losing control over their psychotic symptoms, if they stop smoking, and support them to find activities to replace smoking. This study suggests that to provide good support in health prevention for people with schizophrenia, it is vital for the health care provider to understand their unique personal experience of health and life style habits.

“…Further, these rates are lower than what is found in primary care in general (Bentz et al 2007; Lindholm et al 2010). It is clear that psychiatrists continue not to implement evidence-based treatments despite APA guidelines (Banham and Gilbody 2010; Rae et al 2015; Rogers and Sherman 2014) and evidence of effectiveness in the SMI population (Evins et al 2015). The 2008 PHS Clinical Practice Guideline offers multiple suggestions for system changes that might improve tobacco intervention rates in healthcare (Fiore et al 2008).…”

Little is known about patients' electronic cigarette use, interest in and use of smoking cessation treatments, and providers' attitude towards such treatment. We assessed patients (N = 231) and providers (45 psychiatrists, 97 case workers) in four Community Mental Health Centers. Interestingly, 50% of smokers reported interest in using electronic cigarettes to quit smoking, and 22% reported current use. While 82% of smokers reported wanting to quit or reduce smoking, 91% of psychiatrists and 84% of case workers reported that patients were not interested in quitting as the lead barrier, limiting the provision of cessation interventions. Providers' assumption of low patient interest in treatment may account for the low rate of smoking cessation treatment. In contrast, patients report interest and active use of electronic cigarettes to quit smoking. This study highlights the need for interventions targeting different phases of smoking cessation in these patients suffering disproportionately from tobacco dependence.

“…Despite overall lower cessation rates,4 8 a considerable proportion of smokers with depression or anxiety express a strong desire and motivation to quit smoking 11 12. These smokers have been found to report more quit attempts as well as greater use of cessation aids such as nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) 12 13…”
