As an important interface with the healthcare system for many patients, pharmacists are in a unique position to assist patients with quitting smoking, thereby improving patients’ pulmonary health. Because nicotine replacement therapy products and bupropion are available to patients largely via pharmacies, the pharmacist has become a logical candidate for providing smoking cessation assistance. Furthermore, research has shown that when pharmacists counsel patients on medications for quitting smoking, their intervention positively impacts smoking cessation rates. This article provides a review of methods for cessation and provides pharmacists with feasible and effective smoking cessation counseling strategies for implementation into everyday practice. The intervention approach draws heavily upon the U.S. Public Health Service Clinical Practice Guideline for Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence.

Key Words: smoking cessation • pharmacist • pulmonary disease
