This review concluded that smoking cessation interventions targeting people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease appeared to be more effective when they included action planning, prompts for self-recording, advice on weight control, use of social support, and linking of the disease with smoking. This conclusion reflects the evidence presented and seems reliable.
