虽然使用非处方（OTC）尼古丁替代疗法（NRT）对戒烟有效，但许多担忧和误解仍然存在，可能会降低NRT的有效性。临床实践和公共卫生专家回答了一份调查问卷，探讨了与促进正确使用NRT相关的挑战，并收集了克服这些挑战的建议。出现了两个主要主题，包括确定阻碍NRT使用的政策和做法，以及吸烟者对NRT使用的看法。为了满足这些需求，制定了关于使用OTC NRT戒烟的两部分共识声明。共识声明的第一部分确定了政策问题。共识声明的第二部分是为吸烟者制定的，旨在通过提供有关NRT安全性和最有效使用的信息，减少对NRT的误解和担忧。该声明以患者为中心的形式整合了最先进的临床实践指南，并为政策制定者提供了有效支持戒烟尝试的信息。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Although the use of over the counter (OTC) nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is effective for smoking cessation, many concerns and misunderstandings persist that may reduce the effectiveness of NRT. Clinical practice and public health experts responded to a questionnaire that explored challenges associated with promoting proper NRT use and gathered recommendations on overcoming these challenges. Two predominant themes emerged including the identification of policies and practices that hinder NRT use, and smokers' views regarding NRT use. To address these needs, a two-part consensus statement about the use of OTC NRT to quit smoking was developed. The first part of the consensus statement identifies policy issues. The second part of the consensus statement was developed for smokers to reduce misperceptions and concerns about NRT by providing information on safety and the most effective use of NRT. The statement integrates state of the art clinical practice guidelines in a patient-centered format and presents information for policy makers to effectively support quit attempts.
