Description
Coteur and colleagues review what patients with severe mental illness want from help to quit smoking. Their 2026 BMJ Open systematic review covers adults with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder. The team searched five databases and sorted beliefs, barriers, and preferences using a best-fit framework method.
Sixty-five studies were included from nearly fifteen thousand records screened. Cost blocked many quit attempts, while education and social support helped people to try. Patients favored personal contact with providers, flexible tailored programs, and phone apps that felt easy to use. Many saw smoking as a way to cope with hard feelings, so new coping skills and smoke-free settings mattered for success.
