Abstrakt: Objective— A randomised controlled trial has already demonstrated that a training workshop on smoking cessation counselling for pharmacists and their assistants, based on the stage of change model, had a positive effect on the knowledge and attitudes of pharmacy personnel for at least a year, and was associated with increased and more useful counselling, and higher smoking cessation rates. An extension of the study aimed to monitor the duration of the training effect and so help to determine the optimum time span for refresher training. This paper reports the results of two further annual follow‐ups.
