Abstract
Pulmonary rehabilitation programs offer a critical platform for integrated smoking cessation interventions, leading to improved quit rates and patient outcomes in chronic respiratory diseases. A multidisciplinary approach combining behavioral counseling, pharmacotherapy, and tailored support is essential for addressing addiction. This strategy proves cost-effective, reducing exacerbations and hospitalizations. Allied health professionals play a central role, with telehealth expanding accessibility. Addressing psychological and social factors, alongside long-term follow-up, is crucial for sustained cessation.
