#smoking is top 3 factors leading to premature death for Indigenous Australians.

#pharmacists are a vital part of better interventions and systems in this space, more than just the supplier of these medicines.

Past quit attempts are important to know about. The average person will take 7 attempts to quit smoking successfully. Remember this before you judge! #NAPSACongress

Stimulating discussion from @JacintaAdelaide about Smoking Cessation and addiction. "No one chooses to have an addiction" #napsacongress

[QPSA @QPSA_Rx]

When should you discuss smoking cessation? All the time!!! Patients looking at NRT? Patients buying ventolin? People picking up respiratory scripts for their relatives? Pregnancy? Dropping off a cardiovascular script? #napsacongress

[QPSA @QPSA_Rx]

Protip #2 - prioritise quit support. Let someone else do the logistics so you can focus on providing excellent patient care #napsacongress

[QPSA @QPSA_Rx]

No-one chooses addiction on purpose. Important to take away judgement and support out patients with empathy and without blame #napsacongress

[QPSA @QPSA_Rx]

Your own personal views and values are important when it comes to talking about difficult topics like smoking cessation and addiction #napsacongress
