ABSTRACT
Most clinician interactions with smokers involve motivating smokers to make a quit attempt. Protocols for such interactions using a brief intervention (2 to 5 minutes) have been well described in brochures from the National Cancer Institute (Glynn & Manley, 1989), the Agency for Health Care Policy Research (AHCPR; Smoking Cessation, 1996), and the American Psychiatric Association (Hughes et al., 1996; see Table 10.1). If a smoker does decide to quit, the clinician is faced with the dilemma of selecting a treatment. How does one decide which, if any, of the proven treatments to recommend? This chapter reviews the pros and cons of the several treatment options for smoking cessation and illustrates how these can be delivered within a brief intervention.
