Taiwan Smokers\u2019 Helpline has been established to assist smokers\u00a0to be well aware of the hazards of tobacco, to motivate and to prepare\u00a0them to quit smoking, and ultimately, to advocate healthier lifestyles.\u00a0Since its establishment in 2003, TSH has contributed a lot in either\u00a0providing smoking cessation counseling to attempted quitters or being\u00a0the platform of exchanging tobacco control resources. In clinical\u00a0experience, we construct the brief tobacco cessation counseling model\u00a0to help smokers to quit. In the counseling process, the counselor helps\u00a0client increased the self-awareness of behaviors, activates motivation of\u00a0change, and willing to choose quit smoking. After making decision,\u00a0counselor helps client to develop, implement, and maintain the smoking\u00a0cessation plan.
\nAlthough the model is applied on smokers, but essentially, the\u00a0principles and methods originate from the concept of health counseling ,\u00a0of which we mean the willingness to choose healthy behaviors, to\u00a0develop the ability of self-control, and furthermore, to maintain healthy\u00a0behaviors. Such concept can be applied on other behaviors alike, such\u00a0as weight control, diet control of diabetics and physical activity\u00a0consultations. By the same token, it also provides business owners a\u00a0model of providing Employee Assistance Programs.<\/p>\n
