Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will receive 'one on one' standard smoking cessation advice by a pharmacist. This will comprise of them receiving a Pharmacy Self Care card on Smoking (a health information card from the Pharmacy Self Care Program of the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia) and verbal counselling from the pharmacist. They will be asked to complete a Baseline questionnaire. Then they will also be photographed and their images digitally aged, as a smoker and non-smoker, using APRIL Age software and invited to view the age-processed images. (They will receive a copy of their digitally aged photos to keep). All of this will be done once only (baseline) and will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Participants recruited from customers who enter community pharmacies participating in the study. Allocation to the intervention or control group will be randomised into two groups: control group and intervention group.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Allocation into control and intervention group will alternate weekly (most feasible and least bias option suitable for the different community pharmacy settings) so that all clients recruited in any specific week will receive the same intervention.
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)

Summary
Brief summary
The broad aim of this study is to deliver a personalised smoking cessation intervention within a community pharmacy setting. The specific aims are to test the efficacy of an intervention based on personalised, vivid illustrations of 'smoker's face' on quitting, quit attempts or 'state of change' progression attitudes among young smokers (18-30 years old).
The study hypothesis:
If quit attempts or ‘state of change’ progression attitudes are related to personalised smoking photo-ageing pictures, then exposing young smokers (18-30 years old) to their smoking photo aged picture in community pharmacies will result in higher rates of quit attempts or ‘state of change’ progression attitudes.
