Practice Guidelines
“Tobacco dependence shows many features of a chronic
disease…
“[A chronic disease model] recognizes the long-term nature of
the disorder with an expectation that patients may have
periods of relapse and remission…
“Clinicians should remain cognizant that relapse is likely, and
that it reflects the chronic nature of dependence, not their
personal failure, nor a failure of their patients.” (2000)
