Negative cognitions of GP’s

I cure, prevention is not my business I don’t have the time, I am too busy already It’s energy lost, smokers just don’t quit I don’t where to begin and how to do the follow up It’s too difficult, it’s almost psychotherapy Patients don’t want me to confront them with their smoking habits I smoke myself, how do I make a credible story?
