Ask

• Do you smoke cigarettes or use other tobacco products?  

• Have you in the past?

Advise

Advice should be…• Clear: Direct expression for need for smoking cessation

• Strong: Highlighting importance of cessation

• Personalized: Linking the patient’s health goals to cessation

As a pharmacist, I have to tell you that quitting smoking is the most 

important thing you can do for your health.

I thinking quitting smoking is very important for you because of your 

asthma.

QuestionAB is a 35 year‐old man who used to smoke over a pack of cigarettes (>20 cigarettes) a day for about 15 years and who recently started nicotine replacement therapy with a transdermal system (patch) 21mg/24h. He is now on his first week of treatment and he calls you at the pharmacy to say that this week has been very stressful at work and that he is on the verge of starting to smoke again because he has strong cravings. What do you recommend?

A. Provide behavioral counselingB. Recommend that he combines the patch with gum or lozenge 2 mg when he 

feels cravingsC. Refer him to his primary care physician for a nasal spray prescription to 

more quickly relieve the cravingsD. Recommend that he smokes a cigarette every time he has a craving up to a 

maximum of 5 cigarettes a dayE. Use one and one‐half patches daily to increase the dose of nicotine

Alternative therapies

• Lobelia inflate• Herbal alkaloid with partial nicotinic agonist properties• No evidence to support its role as an aid for smoking cessation (meta‐analysis and multicenter trial)

• Hypnosis and acupuncture: controlled trials did not demonstrate efficacy

• Electronic cigarettes: limited evidence regarding safety or efficacy in reducing or stopping smoking• Typically have fewer chemicals than traditional cigarettes• May contain heavy metals (e.g., lead), flavorings linked to lung disease, small particles that can be inhaled deeply, and carcinogens.

Cognitive changes

• Consciousness raising: Help patients learn more about consequences of tobacco use

• Emotional arousal: Encourage patients to experience and express feelings about tobacco use and quitting

• Environmental re‐evaluation: Encourage patients to think about how it effects children, environment, etc.

• Social liberation: Discuss ways that society makes it easier for non‐smokers (e.g., workplace, restaurants, access to cigarettes)

• Self re‐evaluation: explore how being a smoker may contradict with their health and personal wellbeing goals

Behavioral changes

• Self‐liberation: Develop a quit plan.  Encourage self‐talk like “I can do this.”• Helping relationships: Identify friends, family, and/or co‐workers who can provide encouragement and support.

• Reinforcement management: Praise patients throughout quit attempts.  Encourage patient to set up a reward system.

• Stimulus control: Help patients develop a plan to avoid stimuli that elicit tobacco use (e.g., throw out smoking paraphernalia, avoid tobacco users, change routine). 

• Counter conditioning: Substitute alternatives (e.g., relaxation techniques, distractive thinking, abstinence from drugs/other substances, oral substitutes, exercise).  • Dieting may decrease changes of quitting.
