This study examined patients who underwent elective plastic surgery and participated in a follow-up interview to assess whether adherence to short-term perioperative smoking cessation instructions was associated with continued abstinence post-surgery. All smokers were instructed to quit at least 4 weeks prior to surgery and remain abstinent for at least 4 weeks afterwards. Patients were categorised as either compliant or non-compliant with preoperative guidance. The findings suggest that elective plastic surgery may serve as a teachable moment that extends the immediate smoke-free period; however, short-term instructions alone seldom result in lasting abstinence. Integrating structured cessation programmes with perioperative counselling may be required to transform temporary compliance into enduring behavioural change.</p>","PeriodicalId":35481,"journal":{"name":"Journal of perioperative practice","volume":" ","pages":"570-576"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13586468/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146143897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
