According to trans-theoretical model (TTM), people are in different stages of smoking cessation behavior and their readiness for behavioral change is different. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of nicotine dependency, smoking temptation, decisional balance, and quit readiness among cigarette smokers. In a cross-sectional design, 337 cigarette smokers in Isfahan, Iran were recruited through convenience sampling method in 2012. Data were collected using a short form questionnaire of stages of change, as well as decisional balance, DiClemente et al and Velicer et al smoking temptation, Fagerstrum nicotine dependency and demographic questionnaires. Data analysis was performed by Kruskal Wallis, Mann Whitney U, Chi-Square and Spearman Correlation Coefficients in SPSS 15 Software. Although, in moving from precontemplation to preparation stage, nicotine dependency decreased, it was not significant. Also, in moving from precontemplation to preparation, temptation increased, but it was not significant. In moving from precontemplation to preparation, perceived benefits of smoking decreased significantly. Moreover, mean score of perceived barriers resulted from cigarette smoking was significantly lower in subjects who were in precontemplation stage rather than those who were in two other stages. It is necessary to implement interventions to move people toward preparation stage and apply supportive actions to move prepared individuals toward the practical stages of quitting smoking.

Smoking contributes to more than 5million deaths in the world annually. More than 70% of these deaths occurs in the developing and 30% in the developed countries. the important way to stop these deaths, is to quit smoking. Despite the perceived risk, more than 40% of smokers that had heart attack, began smoking after leaving the hospital. This indicates that inadequacy of awareness in them. The aim of this study was to study Routine or verbal-illustrative Education on nicotine dependency in men after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) This was a clinical trials study,conducted on 100 patients that were candidates for heart surgery at Afshar hospital in Yazd. The participants were randomly divided into two groups. The data were collected by two questionnaires before and after the heart surgery. The first questionnaire included questions about demographic variables, such as date of surgery, address, telephone number, standard test of nicotine dependence (Fagerstrom) and standard test of self – efficacy (Prochaska- DiClemente). After collecting the data at the begining, the case group was treated on routine and verbal education of quit smoking by three pictures about clogging of arteries in 5 minutes. The control group was treated with the routine education. Then the questionnaires were completed 3 months after surgery. The questions of these questionnaires were about quitting smoking, and date of the onset of smoking after surgery. All the registered data were transferred into SPSS software and analyzed. Before intervention the two the groups were same in terms of demographic variables. The mean ages the of case and control groups were 53.55±8.9 and 55.6±8.4 respectively. Their mean age of beginning with smoking was 21.6±6. The extent of nicotine in dependency in the case group was 5.25 and in the control groups 4.86. after 3 months of surgery the extent of quit smoking in case group turned out to be 79.6% and in control groups 66%. There was no significant difference between two groups in quitting smoking. The data indicated that the effect of education through showing picture is more than the routine education.

Tobacco dependency is recognized as the first factor for the prevention of mortality worldwide. Despite the negative impact of smoking on hypertension, therapists have been paid less attention to the effectiveness of psychological treatment of nicotine dependence of these patients.

In this case-control pre-post test research with a quasi-experimental study design male patients aged 25-45 years with essential hypertension that consume one box nicotine in day, referred to Isfahan cardiovascular research center, Iran, in 2009 were studied. They randomized in two experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. The intervention was cognitive behavioral treatment all patients completed the Fagerstrom nicotine tolerance questionnaire before start of interventions as pre test. The post test was completed after the end of the cognitive behavioral intervention which was consisted of eight 90 minutes sessions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy was effective on reduction of nicotine tolerance in the patients with essential hypertension in post test (P < 0.05).

This research suggests that team work approach consist of psychologists and Cardiologists and cognitive behavioral therapy, can be useful in nicotine dependency in patients with essential hypertension.
