They stated that interventions,
such as providing substitutes, including nicotine gum and
removing or changing cues for smoking, are most useful for
patients with asthma who are ready to take action, whereas in
patients with asthma without a willingness to quit smoking,
providing personalized information about the costs of
smoking, asking affect-arousing questions, and encouraging
such patients to re-evaluate themselves as smokers were
more effective. Therefore, the assessment of the willingness
to quit smoking will help improve intervention techniques.
