Abstract

A successful office approach for any behavior change, including for tobacco, makes the intervention part of the everyday work of the medical practice. This article recommends how to integrate tobacco treatments efficiently into clinical practice. Specific ways to think systematically about smoking cessation and intervene with patients are discussed. Strategies to implement office-based changes to improve tobacco intervention are then presented.
