Abstract
The outcomes of an intensive, preoperative smoking cessation program in patients undergoing lung resection were evaluated. Of 340 patients undergoing resection, 82 were currently smoking. Sixty-one were involved in our smoking cessation program, and 45 patients (73.7%) in the program were able to quit by surgery. At the 6-month and 1-year follow-up, 29 (64.4%) and 22 patients (48.9%) abstained from smoking. An intensive smoking cessation program in the perioperative period demonstrated a high success rate, with good results up to 1 year postoperatively for those able to quit before surgery.
