ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Tobacco smoking is related with a substantial morbidity and mortality as well as with tremendous socioeconomic burden. Therefore, an early successful smoking cessation bears an enormous medical and socioeconomic importance. The gold standard of smoking cessation, a combination of behavioral und pharmacologic therapy reaches only few smokers every year and so, guideline-based, low-threshold and broadly available digital cessation support could considerably increase the annual cessation rate. With the digital cessation program "Nichtraucherhelden" such a guideline-based program is available in Germany since December 2016.METHODS:
The program consists of 2 preparation days and 10 program days und contains the major features of common smoking cessation courses. The present study examined the participants from December 2016 to November 2019 (nâ=â2491) regarding acceptance, adherence and effectivity. 69â% were female and the average age was 46 years.RESULTS:
On average cessation was attained after 19 days. One year after the program a cessation rate of 15â% was achieved. Surprisingly, the cessation rate was higher in more addictive compared to less addictive participants.CONCLUSION:
The study shows that a digital guideline-based cessation program is feasible and effectual. For confirmation a control and randomized study is required.
