Özet
Tobacco control (TC) is underpinned in two main strategies: preventing youth initiation and promoting tobacco cessation among users1 . Healthcare professionals (HCPs), and specially physicians, should lead TC advocacy efforts, emphasize their role as TC leaders and exemplars, and disseminate TC and tobacco-cessation training, both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. However, most physicians are neither aware nor satisfactorily competent in TC roles2 . Tobacco-cessation brief interventions can increase quit rates by 8%3 , but their implementation in clinical practice remains poor4 . In Türkiye, tobacco-cessation support is mainly provided by pulmonologists5 ; a survey reports that 41% of outpatients were asked about tobacco use, 31.8% were advised to quit, and 6% were referred to tobacco-cessation services6 . Another cross-country European survey reports that less than 50% of smokers receive cessation advice or any support to quit; cessation support is scarce and inappropriate7 . To scale-up a comprehensive tobacco-cessation approach, brief intervention should be embedded in health systems and systematically provided by all HCPs4,8. Medical School undergraduate training on tobacco cessation is crucial to shape attitudes and engage new generations of physicians2 . However, both students and educators state that the medical curriculum is insufficient regarding tobacco-cessation9,10. The international researchers we inspired and their perspectives on tobacco cessation and cessation education were influential in the realization of this project7 .
