Stage 2, contemplation

Explanation:

Becky is currently in stage 2, contemplation of the transtheoretical model. The transtheoretical model of change tries to explain change in individuals. it suggest six stages individuals go through during the change process. These stages are the precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance and relapse.

In the contemplation stage, the individual is aware of the need for a life style change but has not yet made up his/her mind. At this stage, the individual considers the pros and cons of the lifestyle change, the benefit derived from smoking and the pains of withdrawal. This stage can last for a long period of time and it ends with either the individual accepting to change or continuing in denial. Becky is most likely in this stage.
