As a health provider, you can make a difference in helping your clients quit smoking. Even a brief conversation can lead to quitting; it can be as simple as asking about tobacco use, recommending quitting and referring to community resources or self-help materials.

The step by step 5 A's method for brief interventions has substantial research supporting its use in helping tobacco users. 

• ASK about tobacco use at every contact.
• ADVISE that quitting is the best thing they can do for their health.
• ASSESS their readiness to quit.
• ASSIST by providing brief counselling and pharamacotherapy.
• ARRANGE for follow-up in your office or make a referral.
