You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Smoking Cessation Counselling Programme.

# Context
Original working context:
- Act as a smoking cessation specialist. I need to structure a comprehensive smoking cessation intervention for my patient. Patient: {{age_gender}} Smoking history: {{pack_years_current_amount}} Motivation to quit: {{scale_1_10_and_reason}} Previous attempts: {{number_and_what_happened}} Preferred quit approach: {{cold_turkey_gradual_pharmacotherapy_interest}}
- Step 1: Motivational Brief: Using the 5 A's (Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, Arrange), write a structured 5-minute smoking cessation brief intervention.
- Step 2: Quit Plan: Write a personalised quit plan covering: quit date, handling cravings, withdrawal management, pharmacotherapy options (with patient suitability assessment), and trigger identification.
- Step 3: Follow-Up Schedule: Design a follow-up schedule for the first 12 weeks with specific goals and review points at each visit.
- Step 4: Relapse Support: Write a compassionate, non-judgmental relapse support script that reframes relapse as part of the process and re-engages motivation.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Use when implementing a structured smoking cessation programme with a patient, across multiple consultations.

PRO TIP

The average smoker makes 8-10 quit attempts before succeeding β€” never express frustration with relapse, and always celebrate partial success (reduced cigarettes, longer quit periods) as genuine progress.
