Operations and treatment are actually less likely even to work when they are provided for smokers. First, some operations are less successful where smoking has caused the problem, e.g. heart bypasses. Second, since serious smoking related illnesses often occur in combination, operations are complicated to the point of probable failure. For instance, lung cancer is often coupled with emphysema. Treating both at the same time is massively problematic. Thus treatment -- not to mention research -- resources are being wasted trying to improve the survival rates of people who bring these dual horrors upon themselves.
 
There has been a call for tobacco cessation in the United States. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has provided a set of guideline on tobacco use and cessation. The guideline is titled "Clinical Practice Guideline, Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence: 2008 Update." It calls for smokers to stop smoking tobacco. In partnership with health care providers, U.S. health authorities have set up programs intended to help people who want to quit smoking gradually.
 
Police frequesntly conduct raids in public places and impose fines on people who are found smoking in public places in violation of Cigarette and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA) 2003. The raids as part of a campaign were conducted to prohibit smoking in public places.
 
In the greater India, the hospitals are run by government, charitable trusts and by private organizations. The government hospitals in rural areas are called the (PHC)s primary health centre. Major hospitals are located in district head quarters or major cities. Apart from the modern system of medicine, traditional and indigenous medicinal systems like Ayurvedic and Unani systems are in practice throughout the country. The Modern System of Medicine is regulated by the Medical Council of India, whereas the Alternative systems recognised by Government of India are regulated by the Department of AYUSH under the Ministry of Health, Government of India. PHCs are non-existent in most places, due to poor pay and scarcity of resources. Patients generally prefer private health clinics. These days some of the major corporate hospitals are attracting patients from neighboring countries such as Pakistan, countries in the Middle East and some European countries by providing quality treatment at low cost.
