Quitting TobaccoThere are many reasons for quitting:• Health is usually the primary reason• CO$T can be a factor
Other motivators can play a role, such as the arrival of a new baby or thepurchase of a new home or vehicle….
When talking about tobacco use, it is important to ask about all forms of tobacco such as cigarettes, pipe, cigars, water pipes and spit tobacco….
No matter how tobacco is used, it has immediate & long-term health risks

5 STEPS FOR QUITTING TOBACCO
1. GET READY
2. GET SUPPORT
3. LEARN NEW SKILLS & BEHAVIOURS
4. GET MEDICATION & USE IT CORRECTLY
5. BE PREPARED FOR RELAPSE
Having a Quit Plan is important to be successful in quitting tobacco
10 % of smoking is the addiction to
nicotine
90% of smoking is:
Habit and Routine
Positive association –with coffee, on the
phone, lunch breaks, etc
Socialization –fun with friends, gives you a
break, a reward, etc.
Coping mechanism –when you are
stressed, depressed, angry, etc.
This is actually the hard part of quitting. If you do some work on learning how to make new habits, routines, coping mechanisms, etc. then you have a
better chance of staying quit.

Nicotine Withdrawal
• Fear of withdrawal can be a major barrier to quitting
• Not all experience withdrawal• Worst symptoms subside in just 72 hours &
cease in 7-10 days • Psychological symptoms:
strong cravings mood swingsanxiety crankinessdepression insomnia

What about Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) ?
• Patch, gum, inhaler, lozenge and mist spray are available for purchase over the counter at supermarkets and pharmacies.
• Delivers clean nicotine at gradual doses• Doubles quit rate• With counseling, quit rate doubles again• Products have precautions
Patient concerns:
• 69% smokers believe NRT products as harmful as cigarettes
• Individuals need to receive accurate advice and clear reassurance on safety of products •British Thoracic Society 2004
13
NRT Precautions• Cardiovascular Disease - caution in patients who have had a heart
attack; physician to review if even recent or disease unstable *• Diabetes - nicotine affects blood sugar levels so need to monitor *• Pregnancy - behavioral support first; if not successful in quitting need
to weight risk benefit of NRT. Risks to unborn baby less than from continued smoking *
• Breastfeeding - NRT reduces infants exposure to nicotine; use gum for example 2-3 hours prior to bf; if patch, remove at night *
• Adolescent - consider if highly nicotine dependent or history of failed previous attempt without NRT; combination of counseling, peer and family support and for some, NRT, is best approach *
Use of NRT should be discussed with physician and closely monitored with these groups * literature & research reviews
14
Pharmacotherapy available by prescription:
• Champix® (varenicline)• Zyban® (buproprion)
• Start 7-14 days before quit date: to achieve steady state of blood levels of the drug

“ If I quit smoking, I’ll gain weight..”• 2/3 of people do gain weight: less than 10 lbs• True Cause of weight gain:
– high fat, high calorie foods– enhanced taste & smell – lack of exercise
EAT RIGHT by following “Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating” and stay active
“ Weight can be lost, lungs cannot”
… Average smoker would have to gain 125 lbs above their recommended weight to have the same health risk as smoking one
pack of cigarettes per day
16
Tobacco Intervention is the single most effective step to lengthen & improve
patients’ lives
With intervention there will be:
- a significant reduction in number of tobacco users &
reduced exposure to secondhand and third hand
tobacco smoke
- a decrease in tobacco related disease
- a lowering of healthcare costs
17
Brief ( 3 – 5 minutes or less) tobacco intervention encourages smokers to:
• think about their smoking• consider disadvantages of smoking• consider benefits of quitting
• Even those not ready to quit benefit from intervention & self-help materials to increase their awareness & motivation to quit
18
Research shows that just by asking an individual “Do you smoke?” is not enough to motivate them to quit.
All health professionals need to advise and assist patients in their attempt to quit.
This is accomplished with the implementation of the 5 A’s of Tobacco Cessation Intervention.
5 A’s
19
Ask - about tobacco use
Advise - to quit in a clear, strong &
personalized manner
Assess - willingness & readiness to quit
Assist - for quitting
Arrange - for counseling & pharmacotherapy
The best way to intervene is with the Best Practice…..

Transtheoretical Model/ Stages of Change
Prochaska and DiClemente 1983
1. Pre-contemplation• Not really thinking about quitting• If challenged, will probably defend their smoking
behaviour• May be discouraged about previous attempts to
quit or believe they're too addicted to ever stop smoking
– As a clinician you can: » Raise doubts» Discuss natural consequences
2. Contemplation• Considering quitting sometime in the near future
(probably six months or less)• More aware of the personal consequences and consider
smoking a problem that needs resolution. • Open to receiving information about smoking and
identifying the barriers that prevent them from quitting.
– As a Clinician you can :» Discuss costs and benefits of changing and not
changing» Explore ambivalence » Critical thinking» Develop change options » Provide education
3. Preparation/Determination• Made the decision to quit and are getting ready to
stop smoking.• Taking small steps towards quitting - smoking
fewer cigarettes• Planning to quit within the next 30 days or have set
a quit date.–As a clinician you can: » Set goals and action plans » Identifying barriers to change and making
plans to deal with barriers »Provide encouragement and support »Connect with resources
4. Action• People are actively trying to stop smoking• This stage, generally lasting up to six months, is
the period during which smokers need the most help and support.
–As a clinician you can: »Normalize loss of comfortable old ways»Continue to work on step-by-step realistic goals »Help establishing new routines »Provide positive reinforcement
5. Maintenance
• Person has learned to anticipate and handle temptations to smoke and is able to use new ways of coping with stress, boredom and social pressures • May slip and have a cigarette, they try to learn from the
slip so it doesn't happen again. This helps to give them a stronger sense of control and the ability to stay smokefree.
– As a clinician you can: » Continue goal planning» Relapse prevention planning» Provide support and encouragement for alternative social
and recreational activities» Reinforce commitment
Adapted from 5 Stages to Quitting Health Canada 2009.
6. RelapseWhen the person falls back to an earlier stages of change.
–As a clinician you can:»Focus on elements of past progress, not present
“failures”»Recognition of warning signs»Encourage recovery based activities»Re-engaging support system»Back to basics
5Rs of Motivational Interviewing
RELEVANCE• “Do you feel quitting smoking is an important
thing to do for yourself and others around you?”
RISKS• “What effect do you think your continued
smoking will have on you and others around you?”
ROADBLOCKS• “What is stopping you from quitting?”REWARDS• “Can you identify the benefits of quitting for
yourself and not smoking around others?”REPETITION• Repeat interventions until smoker expresses
interest in quitting.
28
Some healthcare professionals are concerned about whether they can issue credible advice …
•“What if I smoke ?”•“I’ve never smoked !“
•Ex-smokers
29
But..“ I’ve Never Smoked…”
May feel uneasy providing advice, but:• remember overwhelming evidence linked to tobacco
use • become familiar with resources & tools in your
community to assist your patients to quit successfully
Just as healthcare professionals who have never been a parent, can support
new mothers.
30
“ But I smoke…can I issue credible advice? ”
• You’ve seen death, disease & disability caused by tobacco
• You have likely experienced the addictive nature of your own tobacco use
• Whether or not you choose to quit, advising others to quit will help them move forward in choosing a healthy lifestyle as well as fill your obligations & expectations as a health care professional
Whether or not a healthcare provider
smokes, their professional advice isessential.
If the subject of addressing tobacco cessation is not mentioned, the individual may mistakenly perceive that quitting tobacco is not important.
