[Intervention and assistance by doctor for smoking cessation]

Patients with nicotine dependence require suitable intervention and assistance for smoking cessation. We should try to provide every patient with the appropriate way to quit smoking. I'm making the patient classification (motivation-confidence typing) with a questionnaire. When the patient has poor motivation, the motivational interviewing and intervention are required. If the patient has poor self-confidence, I will encourage him and admire his efforts. So varenicline significantly reduce smoking satisfaction, that I allow patients to smoke intentionally during two weeks after starting smoking cessation program. Smoking under the influence of varenicline may be useful to quit without regret.
