Chris's Reflection

Professional, smoking cessation advisor

I was pleased the way that interview went, I was able to follow the 5 R scheme laid out by the American Heart Association

• Relevance – personal recognition of the relevance of quitting smoking to them
• Risks – what harm it’s doing
• Rewards – what not smoking would bring
• Roadblocks - what’s hard about stopping
• Repetition – follow up and consistency of the quitting message at every clinic visit
