“…Training all healthcare workers to record smoking use and offer brief smoking cessation interventions is a basic and effective method to improve the successful implementation of smoking cessation guidelines (Carson et al, 2012). But besides the lack of training (Stead et al, 2009;Tong, Strouse, Hall, Kovac, & Schroeder, 2010), other barriers, which have been identified to prevent its broad implementation, include health professionals' own smoking consumption; lack of time (Tong et al, 2010); low motivation, knowledge, and confidence (Applegate, Sheffer, Crews, Payne, & Smith, 2008;Leitlein, Smit, de Vries, & Hoving, 2012;Martínez, 2009;Sarna et al, 2009;Smit, de Vries, & Hoving, 2013); the deficiency of protocols, records, educational materials, and pharmacological aids (Eby, Laschober, & Muilenburg, 2014;Freund et al, 2009;Leitlein et al, 2012;Smith, Sellick, & Spadoni, 2012); and insufficient organizational support from supervisors and co-workers (Choi & Kim, 2016;Laschober, Muilenburg, & Eby, 2015;Segaar, Bolman, Willemsen, & Vries, 2006). Therefore, training, as well as eliminating individual and organizational barriers to tobacco dependence treatment in a healthcare setting, is essential (Williams et al, 2015).…”
