“…Moreover, community pharmacists are uniquely positioned to simultaneously provide both smoking cessation services and NRT to smokers who want to quit [15]. There is also evidence that pharmacists do see themselves as playing a role in providing cessation support to their clients [13,[16][17][18][19][20][21]. Increasing the utilization of pharmacists in smoking cessation activities may have a positive impact on reducing smoking rates at the population level.…”

“…Three reasons for the barriers to development of the pharmacist's professional actions may be identified in the literature under analysis: (1) The pharmacist and the pharmaceutical occupation, for instance, the pharmacist's lack of knowledge on drugs and their uses (Paul et al, 2007) or on oral health (Dickinson, Howlett, Bulman, 1995;Maunder, Landes, 2005), conflict of roles in the community pharmacy due to the need to sell goods (LloydWilliams, 2003), lack of skills and specific training for actions in health promotion, and therefore qualification and training programs for pharmacists are needed (O'Loughlin et al, 1999; Vinholes, Alano, Galato, 2009); furthermore, personal impairments such as fear, resistance to new concepts and lack of self-reliance, the characteristics that have been largely referred to in the case of pharmacists (Boyle, Coffey, Palmer, 2004;Sunderland et al, 2006). (2) The pharmacy and work organization, such as lack of proper remuneration, extensive actions to be accomplished (Aquilino et al, 2003;George et al, 2010) and the consequent lack of time (Patwardhan, Chewning, 2009), lack of proper instruments for the required actions (O'Loughlin et al, 1999), communication and role conflicts, lack of physical space and privacy for patient advice (Foster, Smith, 1998;O'Loughlin et al, 1999;Nichols-English, Poirier, 2000).…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the scientific output on health promotion within the pharmaceutical field and its relation with the development of pharmaceutical services within health systems. A comprehensive review of published scientific articles from the Medline and Lilacs databases was carried out. The review comprised articles published until December 2011, and used combinations of the terms 'health promotion' or 'health education' and 'pharmacy', 'pharmacist' or 'pharmaceutical'. The articles were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 170 full texts and 87 indexed abstracts were analyzed, evidencing that most described actions of health promotion in community pharmacies and other services. Following the Ottawa Charter, most of the studies dealt with new guidance of the service and the supply of pharmaceutical information and services. It was concluded that there is a lack of theoretical background on health promotion in the pharmaceutical field to sustain the professional education and practice required by the health system and the population.Uniterms: Health promotion. Health education. Pharmaceutical care/scientific production. Pharmacists/ professional practice. Pharmacy.O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a produção científica sobre o desenvolvimento teórico e prático da promoção da saúde na farmácia e sua relação com o desenvolvimento da área e dos serviços farmacêuticos. A revisão integrativa de artigos científicos foi realizada a partir das bases de dados Medline e Lilacs. Ela compreendeu os artigos publicados até dezembro de 2011, através da combinação dos termos 'promoção da saúde ou educação em saúde' e 'farmácia, farmacêutico ou farmacêutica'. Critérios de inclusão e exclusão definiram a seleção dos textos. Ao todo, 170 artigos e 87 resumos foram analisados, sendo a maioria identificada como trabalhos teóricos que relatam atividades descritas como de promoção da saúde em farmácias comunitárias ou outros serviços. Confrontando com o referencial da Carta de Ottawa, a maioria dos estudos revelou ter como campo de investigação principal alguma proposição de reorientação dos serviços de saúde e oferta de informações e práticas farmacêuticas. Conclui-se que há uma carência de embasamento teórico sobre promoção da saúde na área farmacêutica para sustentar a formação e prática profissional, conforme exigido pelo sistema de saúde e pela população.Unitermos: Promoção da saúde.

“…But when smokers access drugs in real-world circumstances, they are most likely to receive no support or advice (for example, when buying NRT from a supermarket) or only brief, sometimes perfunctory advice when a healthcare provider or pharmacist is too busy to spend much time with a customer. A NSW survey of 700 pharmacies (Paul, Tzelepis et al 2007) reported that pharmacists claimed to spend an average of five minutes discussing stop smoking medications with smokers, which means that many would spend less time than that.…”

Across this time I have met, often worked with and become close friends with many of the best minds in international tobacco control. Seventeen years of that time were spent being deputy editor (1992-97) and then editor (1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008) of Tobacco Control, the world's first research journal entirely dedicated to reducing tobacco use and the diseases it causes. During those years, it was a rare day when I was not reading and editing one or more of the thousands of papers that were submitted to the journal, even on Christmas Day. There are very few long-term researchers active across the many disciplinary and sub-topic fields of tobacco control whose most important work I've not read.Trying to list and thank everyone who has ever influenced my thinking about tobacco control is an almost boundless task. But the following people are those to whom across different times -including during the writing of this book -I owe a huge collective debt in many ways:
