• Benefits of quitting (health, economic, etc)

2. What are methods that can be used to help patients stop smoking?

•  Various methods and reported success rates (e.g., “cold turkey”, counseling, patch, etc)

 Best practices

3. How can patients be encouraged to try one of these methods?

•  Models in the literature (this is where the 5 A’s would go, for example)

Best practices
