  1. Smoking: The Talk You’ve Never Heard Michael B. Honan, MD CardioVascular Associates, PC Brookwood Medical Center December 30, 2008

  2. Disclosures • None

  3. Objectives • I want to convince you that smoking cessation is: • Far and away the most impactful thing smokers can do to help their long-term health and life expectancy. • “This is much more important to how long you live and how healthy you are than whether we open your artery or not.” • I want you to have the information needed to give you the greatest chance of success in this endeavor. Motivation is the single biggest factor determining whether or not someone will quit smoking.

  4. Approaches to the Discussion • Be sure they know that you understand that: • This is their decision, • that your role is only to give them the information that you have that they might benefit from, and • that you will do what you can for them regardless of what they choose to do. • Your message might not resonate until the 6th or 7th time you have this conversation, but it is your role to allow them the opportunity to reconsider their decision to smoke. • They may not succeed in quitting until their 6th or 7th attempt.

  5. Public Health Service Guidelines – The 5A Model • Ask about smoking. • Advise one to quit. • Assess willingness to quit. • Assist those willing to quit. • Arrange for follow-up. Fiore MC, et al. Treating tobacco use and dependence: clinical practice guideline. Rockville (MD): US Dept Health Human Svcs Public Health Svc; 2000. Also 2008 Update.

  6. Approaches to the Discussion • Help them to understand that they can quit. • There are more former than current smokers in the US. • Up to 85% of smokers after MI have quit smoking. • It’s never “too late” to quit smoking. • The older the smoker and the longer the smoking duration, the greater the chances of quitting. • Encourage them to have this conversation with themselves. • “List the reasons you want to continue to smoke, and the reasons you might not want to start back.”

  7. Individualize your discussion for each patient.

  8. Smoking and Mortality • In 1928, smoking linked to lung cancer1. • In 1938, smoking linked to mortality overall2. • The first Surgeon General’s Report labeled smoking “the single most important source of preventable morbidity and premature mortality.” in 1964. • Lombard HL, Doering CR. N Engl J Med 1928;198:481-7. • Pearl R. Science 1938;87:216-7.

  9. Surgeon General’s Report May 2004 • 438,000 deaths per year- still the #1 cause of preventable death in the US. • 19% of all deaths!!! • Reduces lifespan of the average smoker by: • 13.2 years for males • 14.5 years for females • 5,522,257 years of potential life lost in the US in 2001.

  11. Risk Factors • Unmodifiable • Age • Family history of early CAD • Male gender • Genetic factors • African-American • Modifiable • Cigarette smoking • Hypertension • Cholesterol-HDL, LDL, • Triglycerides • Diabetes • Overweight • Poor diet • Lack of regular exercise • Cocaine/crack use

  12. Cardiovascular Risk Factors 8422 Men Age 40-64 Followed for 72,011 person-years Smoking > 1 ppd Smoking > 1 ppd Weight > 129% ideal vs < 112% Cholesterol > 268 vs < 219 Systolic BP > 150 vs < 130 Diastolic BP > 94 vs < 80 Relative Risk of Major Coronary Events There are also interactions between risk factors. The Pooling Project Research Group. J Chron Dis 1978;31:201-306.

  13. Cardiovascular Effects • Impairs endothelial function – vasoconstriction. • Pro-thrombotic • Increases fibrinogen, hs-CRP, and homocysteine levels. • Reduces anti-thrombin III. • Increases platelet aggregation. • Causes catecholamine release. • Increases lipolysis, fatty acid release, VLDL levels. • Lowers HDL cholesterol. • Reduces the oxygen content of blood. • Carbon monoxide binds irreversibly to hemoglobin. • Impaired pulmonary function – raises A-a gradient. Bazzano LA. Ann Intern Med 2003;138:891-7.

  14. Cardiac Effects • Atherosclerosis • Promotes coronary plaque formation. • Promotes plaque rupture/ acute coronary syndromes. • Promotes premature coronary bypass closure and restenosis. • Reduces coronary blood flow and promotes coronary vasospasm – cath lab demos1,2. • Nicotine increases oxygen utilization and demand by increasing heart rate & BP – increases ischemia3. • Arrhythmias-PVCs, APCs, atrial fib, MAT, VT, V-fib. • Cardiomyopathy independent of atherosclerosis4. • Kaijser L, Berglund B.

  29. Women and Smoking • Smoking reduces the average life expectancy1 by: • 14.5 years for females. • 13.2 years for males. • Facilitates the metabolism of estrogen, increasing risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis (80% higher fracture risk), cervical cancer, and wrinkles. • Increased susceptibility of women to develop lung cancer in response to smoking which is more virulent and at an earlier age than in men2. In 2000, exceeded breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer death combined in women. ¼ of all cancer deaths in women. • Doubles the risk of DVT and PTE among OCP users3. 1. US Surgeon General May 2004. 2.
