Motivational and Reduction Strategies
Quitting smoking can be approached through various methods, each with its own effectiveness. Self-help materials, especially those tailored to the individual, can provide some benefit. Pharmacotherapy and behavioral support are both effective strategies, with no clear superiority between reduction-to-quit and abrupt cessation methods. Motivational advice and reduction strategies can also be beneficial, particularly for those not initially motivated to quit. A multifaceted approach, combining different strategies, may offer the best chance for successful smoking cessation.
