Smoking cessation

Information about decision aids for smoking cessation

During the consultation, healthcare professionals can learn about the patient’s preferences and values regarding smoking cessation. The goal of the consultation is to support the patient in living a long-term tobacco- and smoke-free life. The main causes of tobacco-related diseases are tobacco and smoke; decisions are guided by the patient’s attitude toward complete nicotine cessation, which is a secondary goal. The consultation and decision aid together facilitate the joint selection of suitable pharmacological and non-pharmacological options, including alternative nicotine products.
