LEARNING SCENARIO ONE

Tony wants some advice. He has been smoking for 10 years, and tried to give up once before, about three years ago. He managed to stop for a couple of months using nicotine patches but started again when he started socialising with work more often. He found dealing with the cravings really difficult. His wife is expecting and he wants to stop for good. He smokes around 15-20 a day, and has cravings for an early morning cigarette.
