Aims:1.Assess which of the available medications for smoking cessation patients more commonly accept and why?2.Assess effectiveness of medications in relation to the dependence level and patients’ gender. Methods: Patients on smoking cessation program were prospectively monitored in 2014 and 2015. We used the descriptive statistical analysis and t-Test for two related samples as well as analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measurements. Results: A total of 377 subjects were included in the research. Of them were females (F) 65.5%) and were males(M)34.5%). M had higher Fagerstrom than F (8.3vs.7.5, p Conclusion: Among the available medications for the smoking cessation the patients most frequently chose Tabex. The price of the drug but also the fact that it’s a new drug on the market contributed to this result. The probability of the successfulness depends on the particular medications program, gender and Fagerstrom.
