    2. 1. It takes a lot of time to work with patients on smoking cessation. FALSE It can take less than 30 seconds.

    3. 2. It takes a lot of knowledge to counsel patients to quit smoking. FALSE All you have to do is ask whether they smoke or use tobacco. If they do, just send them to a telephone quitline. The quitline will take it from there.
