Guidelines for sites linking to mayoclinic.orgAn individual session with a counselor will help lead to an individualized treatment plan for stopping tobacco use. It is the starting point for all the other programs. Many patients are counseled individually for one or more sessions to help them develop a personal plan for new behavioral and lifestyle changes.
Who should do this?
Anyone can make an appointment for this session. Most patients want to stop
tobacco use, though some are just interested in learning more about new methods.
This consultation is offered to anyone interested in gaining more information,
including those who are hospitalized as well as those who are outpatients.
Why talk with us?
Most people benefit from a personalized discussion of reasons
for smoking, best methods for stopping (based on evidence from research), and information on risks of tobacco
use and the benefits of quitting.
