吸烟是全球癌症的主要可预防原因之一。值此全球紧急时刻，世界各地的精神卫生专业人士正与公共卫生及其他医疗界携手合作，专注于采取紧急措施，以挽救COVID-19的生命。这在精神健康医院环境中尤其具有挑战性，因为需要考虑许多其他因素，包括实施社交距离的困难，社交孤立的潜在影响，压力水平增加以及所有这些对吸烟的影响。在这篇文章中，我们将简要讨论吸烟在精神健康患者中的流行情况，特别是在精神健康医院环境中的吸烟情况，以及COVID-19大流行对这些人的可能影响。然后，我们将介绍为什么鼓励精神健康患者戒烟如此重要的主要原因，以及我们可以采取的支持精神健康患者戒烟的措施，即使在COVID-19期间。戒烟干预措施对预防未来癌症和实现这一弱势群体中癌症患者的戒烟有直接影响。
Cigarette smoking is one of the main preventable causes of cancers globally. At this time of global emergency, mental health professionals all over the world are joining hands with the public health and other healthcare communities to focus on acute measures to save lives from COVID-19. This has been particularly challenging in mental health hospital settings where numerous additional factors need to be considered, including difficulties of implementing social distancing, potential impacts of social isolation, increased stress levels and implications of all this on smoking. In this article, we will briefly discuss the prevalence of smoking in mental health patients, especially in those in mental health hospital settings and also what is the possible impact of COVID-19 pandemic in these people. Then we will go through the main reasons as to why encouraging smoking cessation in mental health patients is so important and measures we can take for supporting mental health patients quit smoking even during COVID-19 times. The smoking cessation interventions have a direct bearing on preventing future cancers and achieving smoking cessation among cancer patients in this already disadvantaged group.
