The best approach to initiate a conversation with a patient willing to quit smoking is to provide a brief intervention that is tailored to the patient's readiness to quit. A personalized message leveraging the 5 A's (Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, Arrange) framework creates a supportive environment where the patient feels empowered to initiate change. Brief interventions with personalized advice can lead to successful quitting attempts by addressing the patient's individual circumstances, level of nicotine dependence, and potential challenges in the cessation process. Other provided options are forms of interventions, maintaining a flexible attitude and conducting a nicotine addiction quiz can be helpful, but they are not as effective as a tailored brief intervention in engaging the patient proactively in the cessation process.
