Smoking cessation toolbox for allergists
Annals of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, 10/15/09

Johnson KS et al. – Allergists know the significant impact that smoking has and will make on the lives and health of patients. By using the standardized tobacco use treatment concept of the 5 A's (ask, advise, assess, assist, and arrange), allergists can make a positive impact on reducing US smoking rates and improve patient health. Screening, providing brief counseling, and prescribing first–line smoking cessation medications will help the United States get closer to achieving the national goal laid out in Healthy People 2010 of smoking rates of 12% or less.
