A smoking cessation session typically lasts anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. However, depending on the individual’s needs and the type of program they are taking part in, it may be longer or shorter than this.
During the session, the individual will be given information about the benefits of quitting smoking, explore the reasons why they are smoking, and be given advice on how to quit or reduce their smoking. They can also discuss any concerns they have about quitting, and be provided with support and resources to help them quit or reduce their smoking.
The session may be a one-off or part of a series of sessions. If it is part of a series, it is common for the individual to have follow-up sessions to track their progress and provide additional resources.
At the end of the session, the individual will typically receive a written quit plan, which outlines what they agreed to do during the session and any strategies they can use to help them quit or reduce their smoking.
