Telling your healthcare professional about your smoking history, personal circumstances and what you've done so far to try to quit smoking will help him or her decide on the best course of action for you.
For example, if you've tried one sort of stop smoking treatment multiple times, but later went back to smoking, it's important that you tell this to your healthcare professional and tell them if you would like to try something different.
It's also important that you explain how much you want to quit this time.
