“…Studies have shown that NRT increases the rate of quitting by 50-70%, regardless of the setting. Furthermore, NRT appears largely effective regardless of the additional support provided to the individual (Rahmah & Oktamianti, 2018). Thus, NRT should be provided in smoking cessation clinics.…”

Objective: To identify, locate, and examine the distribution of public tobacco cessation clinics in all Malaysian states using a Geographical Information System (GIS) and determine the relationship between the distribution of public tobacco cessation clinics and the population's socioeconomic status. Material and Methods: All registered public tobacco cessation clinics in each state were identified through the mQuit website. Based on the extracted addresses, each clinic's coordinates (longitudes and latitudes) were traced using Google Maps and transferred into Geographical Information System (GIS) for mapping purposes. Results: Wilayah Persekutuan (W.P.) Kuala Lumpur recorded the lowest ratio of public tobacco cessation clinics to the number of smokers, with 1:25,265 (one clinic to 25,265 smokers), while the highest ratio was in W.P. Putrajaya, with 1:2,118. In relation to socioeconomic status, the highest mean household income was recorded in W.P. Kuala Lumpur (mean gross income: RM 11,692), the same state with the lowest ratio of public tobacco cessation clinics. In contrast, Kelantan had the lowest mean household income (mean gross income: RM 4,214), and the ratio of public tobacco cessation clinics to the number of smokers was 1:8,383. The distribution of public tobacco cessation clinics was highly concentrated in the capital area compared to other areas in Malaysia. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the distribution of public tobacco cessation clinics using GIS. The findings showed an unequal distribution of public tobacco cessation clinics, with low distribution, especially in Sabah and W.P. Kuala Lumpur.

“…Smoking is associated with more than 25 types of pathologies, and it continues to be one of the main causes of preventable death in the world [ 1 ]. If the current smoking level continues, in 10 years more than seven million smokers worldwide will die from smoking [ 2 ]. Moreover, it is necessary to add the social and healthcare costs that a country’s smoking population may incur, due to direct costs stemming from the disease itself (such as hospitalization, among others) and indirect costs related to loss of productivity [ 3 ].…”

Smartphone applications (apps) improve accessibility to smoking cessation treatments. The NoFumo+ app administers a cognitive behavioral therapy program for smoking cessation. This study evaluates the efficacy of NoFumo+ for quitting smoking or reducing cigarette consumption versus the usual information-based treatment. A clinical trial was conducted with 99 hospitalized smokers, 54 pseudo-randomly assigned to the app treatment and 45 to the usual treatment. The two groups had homogeneous baseline characteristics to ensure comparability. Abstinence was evaluated at post-treatment (two months) and at a six-month follow-up. The results obtained indicate that participants who receive the usual treatment are 5.40 times more likely to continue smoking than those who undergo the app treatment (95% CI = [1.35; 20.15]). Participants who do not succeed in quitting smoking with the app manage to decrease their habitual consumption. Users who successfully complete treatment with NoFumo+ access all its contents and use the chat, but without requesting professional support. There is not enough empirical evidence to attribute this success to any specific element of the app. NoFumo+ achieves better abstinence rates than the usual information-based treatments, and the goal of generalizing its use to the non-hospitalized smoking population may be achievable in the future.
