abstract = "OBJECTIVE: To describe consultations in Danish general practice as a context for a mass strategy of smoking cessation advice. METHODS: The focus of the study was on consultations for health problems that were not related to smoking. Interviews with eleven patients and their six GPs were grounded in observation of their own consultations. RESULTS: Patients and GPs agreed that the GP should adopt an attitude of moral acceptance towards patients. Ideals of moral acceptance of patients in general practice consultations were challenged by the prevailing negative moral values associated with smoking. A general aim of mutuality in the conversation in consultations could not always be achieved in smoking cessation advice. Achieving mutuality was especially a problem when smoking cessation advice was repeated at short intervals. CONCLUSION: Two elements of Danish general practice consultations were challenged by smoking cessation advice to patients without smoking-related illness: the ideal of moral acceptance of patients in general practice consultations held by GPs and patients and the wish for mutuality in the conversation during consultations. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: A conversation about smoking based on motivational interviewing would fit in the context of Danish general practice. Relieving the conversation of blocks due to moral implications, however, is still a challenge.",
