Interventions for Smoking Cessation

Clinicians should offer advice to all tobacco users can find interventions for their smoking cessation. Patients unwilling to quit cigarette smoking have to be taken care of in a much closer way anytime they visit the hospital. The intervention for patients unwilling to quit smoking must have sufficient motivation to be successful and first the clinician should ask the patient first to identify the personal relevance of quitting smoking that is personal health benefits. Second, the clinician should tell the patient to identify the risks of using cigarette like risks of cardiovascular problems and risks (Aveyard, Begh, Parsons, & West, 2012). Third, the patient should recognize rewards that are identified as improving the sense of smell, taste and financial savings. Forth, the patient must identify the barriers hindering from quitting smoking and get treatments that can address them like withdrawal symptoms. Lastly, the doctor must repeat the information to the patient anytime they visit the clinic to make the intervention efficient.

The only best ways to help a client to quit smoking as a counselor is first asking the client if he or she smokes and the client may answer in truth. Then, the counselor needs to talk regularly about quitting to smoke with the client especially if they seem not to be willing to quit. The counselor should then give a client a little information on quitting then focus on what the client is there for by helping them find a way to solve their current problems (Kalkhoran, & Glantz, 2016). One should take the lead of the client but not push them only respect their decisions, and they will trust you as a counselor and pay more visits that will help them quit smoking.

There are no specific recommendations for neither teenagers nor the old smokers, but teenagers’ interventions require consideration of the range of psychological and behavioral determinants among them. In the older smokers cessation interventions is best achieved through behavioral group therapy which is found to have a long-term abstinence rate than just education (Aveyard, Begh, Parsons, & West, 2012).
