Tobacco smoking is recognized as the single greatest cause of avoidable morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Notwithstanding this, physicians often forget that tobacco smoking, in addition to be a cause of many different diseases, is a disease itself and forget to make the diagnosis. Possible barriers in diagnosing tobacco dependence are here discussed. Strategies promoting diagnosis of tobacco dependence are also proposed.

Abstract

Tobacco smoking is recognized as the single greatest cause of avoidable morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Notwithstanding this, physicians often forget that tobacco smoking, in addition to be a cause of many different diseases, is a disease itself and forget to make the diagnosis. Possible barriers in diagnosing tobacco dependence are here discussed. Strategies promoting diagnosis of tobacco dependence are also proposed.
