Abstract : 

Introduction: Smoking is a serious public health problem, 23% of Spanish adults aged over 15 smoke every day and 2.4% are occasional smokers. Community pharmacists (CP) are health professionals who are accessible and close to the population and can have an important role in smoking cessation. It is essential to conduct research studies that show the impact of CP intervention in smoking and help define an action protocol that can generally be implemented in any community pharmacy of our country.

Material and methods: The protocol was used in a prospective, placebo-controlled, non-randomized, 12-month follow-up study among smoking patients aged over 18 who came to the community pharmacy with a medical prescription to quit smoking, for a consultation to quit smoking or a patient identified as a smoker. The study was designed to be carried out in 100 pharmacies with pharmacists trained in the CESAR program (intervention group) who performed a structured intervention and in 100 pharmacies with untrained pharmacists (control pharmacies) who performed a habitual intervention. Each pharmacy had to enlist a total of 5 patients, which would involve a total of 1000 cases.

Results: 182 CPs participated in the study (intervention group: 102, control group: 80), most of whom practiced their profession in neighborhood pharmacies. The research involved 1,078 patients (intervention group: 800, control group: 278), with a homogeneous gender distribution and an average age of 49 years.
