, ◉ Precontemplation Stage
(Smoking) Answer: The first stage of change where a person is not
thinking of making a change and may not be aware that they have a
problem. For example a smoker may have just started smoking, may
be unaware of the serious health risk, and may not realize they are
addicted.
◉ Contemplation Stage
(Smoking) Answer: For many, progress towards a stage begins as
they move into the contemplation stage. During this they might
develop the desire to change but not know how to do it. They see
themselves taking action within the next six months. For example a
smoker is considering starting a "Stop smoking program" when their
stressful semester of school is over.
◉ Preparation Stage
(Smoking) Answer: This is where change begins to appear not just
desirable but also desirable. For example during this stage a smoker
might begin to make plans to quit at this stage by setting a date,
enrolling in a program etc.
◉ Action Stage
(Smoking) Answer: During this stage plans for change are
implemented and are consistent for a period of at least six months.
