      abstract = {Tobacco dependency remains a significant public health challenge in high-income healthcare systems, contributing to preventable morbidity and mortality worldwide. This paper reviews advances in integrated care approaches for tobacco dependency treatment, emphasizing their potential to improve patient outcomes through coordinated and multidisciplinary strategies. Key innovations, such as the integration of pharmacological and behavioral therapies, technology-driven solutions, and patient-centered care models, demonstrate substantial promise. However, healthcare system fragmentation, resource limitations, and societal stigma hinder widespread implementation. The paper highlights successful case examples, explores barriers and opportunities for improvement, and provides actionable recommendations for policymakers, healthcare providers, and researchers. By fostering collaboration, policy reforms, and technological innovation, integrated care approaches can effectively address tobacco dependency, paving the way for healthier populations and reduced healthcare burdens.},
