More than 6,500 pharmacies and 40,220 patients participated in this program. One year after t reatment began, a survey of 2,001 patients on nicotine transdermal therapy found that those who had not joined a comprehensive smoking cessation program (86.5%) but were counseled by a pharmacist had a selfreported smoking cessation rate of 370/0 at the end of treatment, and 33% at an average of 10 months after treatment. The average length of treatment was five weeks. Patients who participated in a comprehensive behavioral smoking cessation program, such as SmokEnders, and who also received counseling from their pharmacists (13.5% of surveyed patients) had a quit rate of 62% at the end of treatment and 45% after 10 months.</p><p>Among surveyed patients, those who stopped smoking reported that their pharmacists' counseling had been more intense and more helpful than the counseling reported by those who did not stop smoking.
