The magnitude of the problem of smoking challenges health providers to persuade patients of the importance of trying to quit. Smoking behavior and cessation techniques are discussed in terms of the health decision model, a third-generation model combining health beliefs, decision analysis, and behavioral decision theory. This review suggests the need for physicians to emphasize factors such as health beliefs, self-efficacy, social support, and reduction of stress in smoking cessation efforts. Patients experiencing symptoms, particularly relating to the lungs or heart, may have stronger health beliefs and are clearly more likely to quit smoking. In the absence of a clear-cut advantage for any particular smoking cessation technique, physicians should provide advice about smoking as a regular part of every patient visit.
