BENEFITS OF TOBACCO CESSATION ON CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH PROF. G.C. ONYEMELUKWE MON MEMBER, SMOKING CESSATION ADVISORY BOARD DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE, AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY TEACHING HOSPITAL, ZARIA
Introduction 1.Increasing tobacco use in developing countries of Africa • More than 150million adolescents use tobacco and 80% of this started before the age of 18years 2.National Global Youth Tobacco Survey 2008 Nigeria- Abuja, Cross River, Ibadan, Kano and Lagos. Ekanem I et al 2008 • Current use of tobacco by youths: Cross River =26.1%, Lagos = 14.6% • Exposure to second hand smoke: Home=14.5% in Ibadan to 31.3% in Cross River • Public places: Kano= 55.5%, Ibadan =35%. 3.

NICE: Smoking Cessation Guidelines. (U.K)(NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CLINICAL GUIDANCE) • Targeted at all professionals, councils, community, NGO, governments to achieve smoking cessation. • Urgent need to establish Cessation clinics and guidelines in all African Countries with available pharmacotherapy • Tobacco use is a chronic disease
5 A’s-Model for tobacco Treatment in Medical Care • ASK patients about smoking at every visit. • ADVISE all tobacco users to quit. • ASSESS patients willingness to try to quit. • ASSIST patient’s quitting effort (Provide smoking cessation treatment or referral). • ARRANGE follow up (Supportive Contacts). * Note Fagerstrom Screening of Smokers. * Note that CS consist of • Psychological (Behavioral Support). • Pharmacological Support for Nicotine Dependence.
BEHAVIOR CHANGE MODEL- STAGES • PRE-CONTEMPLATION. • CONTEMPLATION. • PREPARATION • ACTION • MAINTENANCE • RELAPSE. Requires devotion persistence and understanding
IMMEDIATE EFFECTS OF SMOKING CESSATION • At 20 minutes after quitting – Blood pressure decreases – Pulse rate drops – Body temperature of hands and feet increases • At 8 hours – Carbon monoxide level in blood drops to • normal • – Oxygen level in blood increases to normal
At 24 hours • – Chance of a heart attack decreases • At 48 hours • – Ability to smell and taste is enhanced • At 2 weeks to 3 months • – Circulation improves • – Walking becomes easier • – Lung function increases

LONG TERM BENEFITS OF SMOKING CESSATION (CS) • Risk of Coronary Heart Disease ↓ by 50% after one year. • Risk of Stroke similar to that of Non Smoker within 5-15 years. • Within 15 years, relative risk of dying from coronary Heart Disease for an ex smoker approaches that of a life time of non smokers. These are due to endothelial cell regeneration by endothelial progenitor cells, recovery of NO function, Cytokines ↓, ↓reduced activation of neutrophils, platelets, etc. 4 Insulin resistance ↓

Varenicline vs Bupropion 1.Comparisons of varenicline and bupropion and placebo by Gonzales et al 2006, 2) Jorenby et al 2006. Result showed in 1 year (LONG TERM) varenicline with 22.5%, tobacco abstinence 15.7% bupropion, 9.4% placebo. • Vareniclineis superior to bupropion with lower urge to smoke and negative effect experience . 3. Stapleton et al 2006 Varenicline efficacious in patients with mental illness
Varenicline vs. nicotine patchOpen label randomized controlled trial(5 countries, n= 746) 56 43 26 20 End of treatment OR 1.70 (1.26-2.28) Continuous abstinence OR 1.40 (0.99-1.99) Aubin HJ. Thorax 2008
VARENICLINE SAFETY • Varenicline is one of the most effective drugs available to treat tobacco dependence. Continuing to smoke is clearly hazardous. • In most cases, the benefits of varenicline substantially outweigh the risk. • 1st line = varenicline alone or combination with NRT • Bupropion is used but 2nd line, with NRT • V-V = Varenicline – Victory over tobacco dependence
Tobacco Dependence Thank you Victory Varenicline
