How can health professionals start effective conversations with patients about smoking and vaping cessation, even in busy clinical settings? In this episode, Quit Centre clinical team members Cora Mayer (GP Lead), Jennifer Kyi (Pharmacist Advisor), and Stacey Ridley (Nurse Advisor) discuss practical approaches to discussing nicotine dependence with patients.

Listeners will learn how the Ask, Advise, Help (AAH) brief advice model can be used across general practice, pharmacy, and primary health care nursing settings to support smoking and vaping cessation. The discussion also explores real-world examples of integrating cessation conversations into routine care, highlights the importance of preventative health interventions, and explains how clinicians can partner with Quitline to provide ongoing support for patients who want to quit.
