Interprofessional approach implementing proposed policy

Cigarette smoking cessation treatment integrates care between healthcare and social services. The goal of treatment is to reduce cigarette smoking and eventually eliminate associated symptoms. A cigarette advertisement restriction can only be implemented successfully if various organizational members collaborate to attain a common goal. For instance, social workers can collaborate with nurses, physicians, and other clinical officers to establish the benefits of implementing a smoking cessation policy. The input offered by each professional would ensure that the strategies are the best for improving patient outcomes (Cruz et al., 2019). Informing patients about the harmful cigarette smoking behavior is an effective approach to creating awareness regarding the adverse effects on health. To implement the cigarette smoking cessation awareness policy effectively, collaborating with various organizational members is also essential because it will further improve outcomes.

Conclusion

           Overall, it is challenging nicotine-addicted individuals to limit the number of cigarettes they smoke; thus, implementing a restriction on cigarette smoking advertisements can improve healthcare outcomes of a large number of people. Cigarette smoking advertisement promotes smoking by establishing an illusion that smoking is useful for the body. This strategy does not target the patient’s behaviors, but it instead seeks to address the problem that is cigarette smoking. When implementing such a policy, it is vital to incorporate an interprofessional team because the various experts from different professionals ensure that opinions are considered from a broader perspective.
