1 STAGE: Ready to Quit You are an ob/gyn clinician, and you are seeing Ms. LeClair, a 24- year-old woman who recently found out that she is pregnant. When you inquire about her use of tobacco, she tells you that she is a cigarette smoker and would like advice on how she might quit. She has no medical problems. KEY POINTS THIS PATIENT is pregnant and is ready to quit contemplates options of quitting cold turkey or using the QuitKey computerized gradual reduction method; opts to use the QuitKey method THE CLINICIAN reviews the patient s previous quit attempt, motivation, and confidence in her ability to quit discusses strategies to manage automatic smoking associated with drinking coffee, driving, and the end of meals reviews non-drug methods for quitting (cold turkey, gradual tapering); counsels the patient on the use of the QuitKey unit reviews preparation for quit attempt (home environment, social support system) praises the patient for deciding to quit and arranges follow-up Rev CASE 2 Page 1 of 10
2 Step 1: ASK Not applicable. The patient approached her physician for information about quitting smoking. Step 2: ADVISE This patient has indicated that she wants to quit. The physician should commend her on this decision and emphasize the importance of quitting. Step 3: ASSESS So, you are considering quitting would you like to quit sometime within the next month? I want to quit as soon as possible I don t want to hurt my baby. OK, I m going to ask you a few questions, so we can choose the most appropriate treatment for you. This patient is ready to quit (in the preparation stage). Step 4: ASSIST Assess tobacco use history: current use Are you currently smoking cigarettes only, or do you also smoke cigars or use other types of tobacco? Just cigarettes. Rev CASE 2 Page 2 of 10
3 How many cigarettes per day do you usually smoke? I smoke maybe 15 cigarettes per day not quite a pack. Assess tobacco use history: past use How long have you been smoking 15 cigarettes a day? About 4 years. But since I found out I was pregnant, earlier this week, I started cutting down, to about ten a day or so. At what age did you begin smoking? I started when I was 18, about 6 years ago. Have you ever seriously tried to quit before? I tried to quit, once, about 8 months ago when I decided I was ready to start a family. Why did you return to smoking? Rev CASE 2 Page 3 of 10
4 I never really quit that time. I tried to quit cold turkey didn t last very long. I guess I didn t have a big enough reason to quit. But now I do. Discuss key issues: reasons/motivation for wanting to quit So it sounds like the main reason you want to quit is because you re pregnant. Any other reasons why you might want to quit? Well, I know smoking is bad for me. And I certainly don t want to smoke around my baby, because I heard it causes breathing problems. Discuss key issues: confidence in ability to quit How do you feel about your chances of quitting for good this time? How difficult do you think it will be for you? I m determined to quit. But I know it ll be hard, because I like smoking. I ve thought about using the nicotine patch or some other drug but I don t know if I should do that while I m pregnant. Well you have already experienced some success, in being able to cut back on your smoking since finding out that you are pregnant. That is a big step in the right direction. We ll talk about nicotine patch a little later. Discuss key issues: social support for quitting Have you spoken with your family or friends about your quitting? Rev CASE 2 Page 4 of 10
5 My family knows I m pregnant. Everyone s encouraging me to quit smoking. My husband smokes a little, but not every day. He smokes cigars and cigarettes with friends, sometimes. I haven t told my friends I m pregnant, yet. I want to wait til I m into the second trimester. Discuss key issues: concerns about weight gain I usually discuss concerns about weight gain at this point, but because you are pregnant we know that weight gain is inevitable. During this time it is very important for you to eat a healthy diet and follow an exercise plan, which we will outline for you. Do you have any concerns about this? No. My sister gained 50 pounds when she had her first baby, and she s already warned me about eating for two. I m trying hard to eat healthy right now. Discuss key issues: concerns about withdrawal symptoms I d like to give you an information sheet that describes the different withdrawal symptoms that can occur while quitting. It also explains the duration of the symptoms and what you can do to help alleviate the symptoms, should they occur. You mentioned using the nicotine patch, but because you re pregnant, it s best not to use medications to assist with the symptoms, so we ll want to go with the strategies listed in the information sheet. The physician should give the patient the Withdrawal Symptoms Information Sheet. Discuss key issues: stress-related smoking For some people, stress can be a powerful trigger to smoke. Do you think that job stress, the stress of being pregnant, or other situations might make it harder for you to quit? Rev CASE 2 Page 5 of 10
6 It s hard for me to predict if I ll have a harder time quitting, now that I m under more stress from the pregnancy. I m a nurse, though, and I tend not to smoke while I m at work. I don t want my patients to smell the smoke on me. Well, then let s try to keep this in mind and see how it goes. If you feel that stress is making you want to go back to smoking, then please call me as soon as possible, so we can discuss it. Discuss key issues: routines and situations associated with tobacco use Are there any specific situations that might make it more difficult for you to quit? Any routines that you have, such as smoking after meals, with coffee, or when you re in the car? I usually smoke in the morning, with my first cup of coffee. I also like to smoke after meals, particularly after work. And I almost always smoke while driving. Facilitate quitting process: discuss methods for quitting There are several different methods of quitting, but because you re pregnant, it s best not to use medications to help you quit. Two options are to quit cold turkey or to try to taper your smoking over time. I want to quit; the sooner the better. I don t want to be smoking too far into my pregnancy. But I don t think I can do it cold turkey. It didn t work the last time. Can you tell me more about how I could taper my use? Rev CASE 2 Page 6 of 10
7 True, you want to be able to quit as soon as possible to minimize risk to the baby. But it s most important that you do quit, successfully. There is a nondrug product called QuitKey, which costs about $40. It s a small, hand-held computer device that schedules your smoking for you. It tapers your smoking over time in a way that helps to minimize withdrawal effects. It takes about 4 5 weeks to taper down to zero cigarettes a day. Although this may be longer than you d like, it s better than not quitting at all! What s important is that we choose the best method we can to ensure success. Does this sound like a reasonable way for you to quit? OK. It sounds like a great idea, but is this device complicated or difficult to use? No, it s very simple to use, and I ll be happy to help you get started. The instruction manual is very user friendly, and if you need it, there is a toll-free hotline support service to call if you do have any questions. I also like the fact that a QuitKey unit has been developed especially for pregnant women. Wow sounds like the perfect method for me. OK, we ll get you set up with one of the units. The physician should describe use of the QuitKey unit and give an appropriate demonstration. We ll also need to work hard on preparing your environment to make it conducive to quitting; getting support from your friends and family; and preparing you, mentally, to be ready to quit for good. Rev CASE 2 Page 7 of 10
8 Facilitate quitting process: discuss coping strategies First, let s talk about some methods that will help you with situations when you typically smoke. The idea here is to disrupt, or change, the routines that you normally associate with smoking. In morning with coffee: As soon as you get up each day, remind yourself that you are a nonsmoker. You can make it through another day without cigarettes. Change the order of your morning routine. If you usually have your coffee before you shower, shower first. Change what you do. Listen to the radio instead of the television. Eat a smaller breakfast, or try new breakfast foods. Change where you do things. Read the paper in a different part of the house. Get dressed in a different room. Try drinking fruit juice, decaffeinated tea, or a different flavored coffee for a few weeks (e.g., a decaffeinated nonfat latte or cappuccino). Also, instead of sitting at the table and reading the paper with your coffee, use the time to go for a short, brisk walk before you shower. This also will help you to combat excessive weight gain, plus it s healthy, and the fresh air will help you to wake up. In the car: Remove cigarettes from your car, and clean out the ashtrays. Consider having the interior detailed to remove tobacco smell. If you feel the urge to smoke, take a deep breath instead. Do some self-massage; this has been shown in a research study to reduce the cravings to smoke. Listen to a talk radio station or a book-on-tape to keep your mind occupied. Keep a bottle of water, a pack of gum, or hard candies in the car. After meals: Before you sit down to eat, remind yourself that you will not smoke after the meal. Get up from the table as soon as you finish your meal, and do something that occupies your mind and your hands this could be as simple as doing dishes or other household chores. Some people like to leave the house and go for a walk, surf the Web, or call a friend who is supportive of their quitting and give him or her a progress report. What s important is that you alter your routine and try to keep your mind off of smoking. Do you have any ideas for how you might do this? At this point the physician should explore options with the patient. Rev CASE 2 Page 8 of 10
9 Next, let s talk about how to prepare your environment for quitting. The night before you are ready to quit, remove all cigarettes from your home, your car, and your workplace. When you discard them, tell yourself (out loud) that you no longer want to be a smoker. Get rid of ashtrays you will not need them anymore! Tell your friends, family, and co-workers that you have decided to quit smoking for good. Ask for their support. Tell them to be patient with you if you are irritable or seem distracted. You do not need to tell them that you are doing this because you are pregnant, if you don t want others to know about the pregnancy yet. Ask your husband to quit with you. If he chooses not to quit at this time, then ask him not to smoke around you and to make sure that all tobacco is removed from the house and his car. If he chooses to quit, and if he needs some assistance or guidance in choosing a medication, have him call me. Facilitate quitting process: set a quit date The last step is to set a firm quit date sometime within the next 2 weeks. With the QuitKey program your quit date is 1 week after you start using the unit. This will give you a couple of days to prepare yourself, your environment, and others for the big day. Some of my patients write the quit date on note paper and stick them throughout the house on the bathroom mirror, for example, so they see it first thing in the morning, and on the refrigerator, the front door, and the dashboard of the car. When would you like to quit? Let s shoot for a week from now. I ll start using the QuitKey computer tomorrow. Rev CASE 2 Page 9 of 10
10 Facilitate quitting process: offer to assist throughout the quit attempt OK, that sounds like an excellent plan. I want to remind you that quitting smoking is a process it may take weeks or months until you feel that you are free from tobacco. I want to help you through the quitting process. And we should work together, to be sure that you don t go back to smoking after you have your baby. Step 5: ARRANGE Congratulations on making a difficult, but important, decision that definitely will improve your health and protect your baby s health! The next time you come in for an appointment, I d like you to bring your husband so we can talk about how he can help you quit, and maybe even quit smoking himself. We also can review the situations that might cause you trouble. In the meantime, please call me if you have any questions. Rev CASE 2 Page 10 of 10
