INTRODUCTION In Türkiye, smoking cessation outpatient clinics (SCCs) provide access to free smoking cessation treatments and provide important treatment support to smokers. Additionally, in order to increase the effectiveness of these clinics, it is important to conduct due diligence and monitor their outcomes. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of our SCC as well as the associated factors with quit success and treatment adherence of smokers. METHODS Smokers admitted to the outpatient smoking cessation clinic of a tertiary care hospital in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Türkiye between January 2018 and May 2019, were evaluated. All patients included in the study were aged ≥ 18 years and started smoking cessation treatment. RESULTS Mean age of the 425 participating patients was 38 ± 12 years, 73.4% of whom were males. In the second year, 20.5% of the patients were successful in quitting smoking. Unsuccessful quitting was positively associated with treatment non-adherence (OR=7.71; 95% CI: 3.44–17.31), presence of nicotine withdrawal symptoms (OR=7.09; 95% CI: 3.60–13.97) and being a student (OR=6.82; 95% CI: 1.31–35.59) with the highest risks. According to the multivariable logistic regression analysis, being a student, having higher scores on nicotine dependence test and presence of withdrawal symptoms, were positively associated with failure to quit smoking. Low cessation medication use duration, experiencing sleep-related side effects and digestive system related side effects during smoking cessation treatment, were negatively associated with success to quit (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The rate of successful quitters in the long-term was 20.5%. Considering the factors associated with quit status, interventions and followed methods of SCCs need to be updated.

Countries have varied approaches to incorporating immunization into national health budgets, with little sharing of know-how and best practices. The diversion of resources from routine immunization due to the COVID-19 pandemic, highlights the need to increase the sustainability and resilience of existing vaccination infrastructure. Strategies for sustainable financing of immunization programs were reviewed and assessed on how they fit within the Immunization Agenda 2030 framework proposed by the WHO. We conducted a narrative literature review and analyzed existing knowledge using a thematic framework. The eligibility criteria for review articles were that they were peer reviewed, including grey literature, in English, and focusing on sustainable financing strategies for immunization programs unrelated to COVID-19 at an international or regional level. The review identified 24 articles that met inclusion criteria. The areas identified were ensuring sufficient, predictable resources, securing effective public financial management, enhancing collaborative partnerships and facilitating sustainable transition from external donor support. Recommendations include enhancing public-private partnerships (PPPs), ensuring alternative funding models, establishing credible regulatory bodies, and fostering technology transfer. To achieve sustainable financing, a multi-faceted approach is needed: increasing government funding, diversifying funding sources, investing in vaccine development infrastructure, establishing regulatory bodies, and fostering PPPs.

INTRODUCTION Research has shown divergent results in terms of nicotine dependence and motivation to quit before and during confinement. Thus, the overall impact of COVID-19 on tobacco dependence and motivation to abstain requires further investigation. The aim of this study is to assess tobacco dependence and measure the motivation to quit before and during confinement in cigarette smokers in Morocco. METHODS This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study that included 478 smokers from the 12 regions of Morocco. Data were collected via a questionnaire survey. The Fagerström test for nicotine dependence (FTND) was used to assess tobacco dependence, and the Q-MAT test was used to measure motivation to quit. The questionnaire was distributed between 9 May and 11 June 2020 via e-mail and social networks. Data processing was carried out using Jamovi software.
