Adults with mental illness smoke cigarettes at much higher rates than other adults.

成人精神病患者吸煙的幾率要高于常人。

Overall, about 20% of adults in the US smoke.

總的來(lái)說(shuō)，約20%的美國(guó)成年吸煙。

Among adults with a mental illness, the smoking rate is 36%.

在患有精神疾病的成年人當(dāng)中，吸煙率為36%。

This means a greater percentage of people with mental illness will get sick and die early from smoking-related diseases.

這說(shuō)明他們患病，或是死于吸煙疾病的概率要更高。

Like other smokers, they want to quit, are able to quit, and benefit from proven stop-smoking treatments.

像其他吸煙者一樣，他們也想戒煙，也能夠戒煙，戒煙治療有益身心。

However, people with mental illness face special challenges in quitting and may need extra help, including more counseling, as well as higher doses, longer use, or a combination of medicines that help people quit.

然而，精神病患者在戒煙時(shí)需要面臨諸多特殊挑戰(zhàn)，或額外幫助，包括專(zhuān)家輔導(dǎo)、大劑量用藥、長(zhǎng)期服藥以及服用戒煙藥物。

Mental health professionals can help their patients stop smoking by insuring their facilities are 100% tobacco free and by including smoking cessation as part of an overall approach to treatment and wellness.

在治療精神病患者過(guò)程中，為了達(dá)到戒煙目的，專(zhuān)家可以為患者營(yíng)造無(wú)煙室，展開(kāi)戒煙行動(dòng)。
