Effectiveness of family-based behavioral intervention for smoking cessation in low-income households: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Summary: Quitting smoking is hard, especially for families with less money. But a new study shows that when the whole family gets involved, parents are much more likely to quit! Researchers looked at over 5,000 people and found that family counseling mixed with nicotine patches or gum works best. When both parents smoke, trying to quit together makes a huge difference. This team effort helps parents stay smoke-free for a year or more, making the home healthier for everyone.
