Highlights & Basics
- Healthcare professionals play a central role in motivating and assisting patients to quit smoking.
- Smoking cessation benefits all people who smoke regardless of age, comorbidities, or current health problems.
- Ask: systems should be established in each clinic that identify the smoking status of each patient and that communicate this status to physicians.
- Advise: a personalized, open, and reflective patient-centered discussion should be provided on how smoking cessation can help patients achieve their goals.
- Assess: it should be determined whether patients are ready to consider attempting to quit and, if ready, how confident they are about success.
