Ask about and document every person’s smoking status.
Give Brief advice to stop to every person who smokes.
Strongly encourage every person who smokes to use Cessation support (a combination of behavioural support and stop-smoking medicine works best) and offer to help them access it. Refer to, or provide, cessation support to everyone who accepts your offer.
The guidelines include several important messages:
Health care workers should give brief advice to stop smoking to all people who smoke, regardless of whether they say they are ready to stop smoking or not.
Provide evidence-based cessation support for those who express a desire to stop smoking.
Health care workers should only recommend smoking cessation treatments of proven effectiveness, as identified in these guidelines, to people interested in stopping smoking.
