While the mean initial age of smoking was 18.5, the mean duration of smoking was 23.6 years.One-hundredninetyseven patients had thought to quit smoking before and the number of mean unsuccessful attempts was 3.6.Medical treatment was applied in 188 (81.4%) cases.Varenicline was the most common chose drug (34.2%) and most common adverse effect was emezis (2.6%).The number of control visits was between 0 and 5 (median value was 2.0±1.3).In one year follow, the rate of quitting smoking was found to be 24.7%, relapsing rate was 44.6% and 30.7% of cases had unknown smoking status.Relapses were most common occured in first month of cessation.We found no relationship between relapse and duration of smoking, presence of symptom, level of education, score of fagerstrom and having comorbidity.Presence of adverse effects (p=0.00) from medical treatment and the low number of control visits (p=0.00) were determined as associated factors with relapse.Conclusion:In our hospital, patients who attended smoking cessation programme the rate of relapse is found to be 44.6% in 1 year period.We suggest that for reducing relapse rate and to improve success of smoking cessation programme, close monitorization may be helpful.
