About the tobaccology unit

The tobacco consultation offers individual support throughout the entire smoking cessation process (at your discretion or advised).

It is open to every person willing to:

  • learn more about tobacco (the health effects, triple dependence, the benefits of stopping, etc.),
  • clarify their smoking habit in their mind,
  • boost their motivation,
  • prepare themselves and to solidify the change, by choosing the method that best suits them,
  • be supported throughout the weaning and then afterwards when strengthening the commitment to quitting.

The first meeting (about 60 minutes) will allow you to complete a smoking assessment, evaluate how motivated you are, your dependence level, your psychological and dietary situation, measure the level of carbon monoxide poisoning and to discuss the different possible methods to help you quit (a potential medical treatment could be discussed and proposed in collaboration with the attending doctor or a specialist doctor).

The meetings that follow (about 30 minutes) will allow you to continue the personalised weaning process (adapting the treatment of the physical dependence, monitoring the side effects, psychological and dietary support, biological monitoring of the detoxification). The pattern of the meetings is decided with each patient. The chance of success is the focus of these regular consultations which offer indispensable psychological support for a successful quit attempt.
