Brief description This project examines behavioural change when people see their "smoker's face". Smoker's face is the medical term used to describe the drastic and irreversible impact of smoking on physical appearance. The aim of this study is to test the efficacy of a complex intervention (photo-ageing) based on personalised, vivid illustrations of "smokers face" on nicotine dependence and or quit attempts of young smokers aged 18 ─ 30 years old. It is delivered proactively as primary health care counselling by a pharmacist within a community pharmacy setting.
