For smoking, I councelled patients on cutting down smoking and if they had already cut down, I always commended them for doing so. For alcohol, you don't need to counsel patients unless they are drinking more than the recommended amount unless you suspect that they might be addicts. I think your closure is fine. Whenever I had time I would also ask if they understood everything we discussed and shake hands, smile, thank them and leave.
