Correct answer: B — Combine behavioural support with suitable stop-smoking pharmacotherapy

This scenario assesses Smoking cessation COPD in a UK pharmacy practice context. Smoking cessation is the most important disease-modifying intervention in COPD and support improves quit rates. The best answer is Combine behavioural support with suitable stop-smoking pharmacotherapy because it addresses the principal clinical, legal or safety issue before routine supply. The other options are less appropriate because they either miss the key risk, delay necessary review, or would not meet expected BNF, NICE, MEP, MHRA or GPhC practice standards.
