Manual of Smoking Cessation: a Guide for Counsellors and Practitioners

< back

At the preconference registration reception at the Baltic rooftop restaurant you will have an opportunity to see hot off the presses the new 'Manual of Smoking Cessation' by Andy McEwen, Peter Hajek, Hayden McRobbie and Robert West at it's launch. The book will be available to delegates at a special introductory price.


Manual of Smoking Cessation provides the crucial knowledge required if you are involved in helping smokers to stop. The manual provides facts, figures, suggested interventions and sources of further information to assist in providing evidence-based treatment for smokers wishing to stop. This manual covers the core content areas and key learning outcomes described in the Standard for Training in Smoking Cessation (Health Development Agency, 2003). Manual of Smoking Cessation is structured in two concise parts: Part 1 provides essential information on smoking demographics, along with the risks of smoking and the benefits of stopping; Part 2 offers a range of practical advice to implement with clients.
