Overview

Stopping tobacco is the single best thing you can do for your health. Support and medicines more than double the chance of quitting successfully.

Who it may help

  • People who smoke cigarettes, bidi or shisha
  • People who chew tobacco, naswar, gutka or paan
  • People with heart, lung or other conditions made worse by tobacco
  • Pregnant women who smoke

What the service includes

Assessment of tobacco use, a personalised quit plan, behavioural support, nicotine replacement and other medicines, and follow-up to prevent relapse.

What to expect

Set a quit date and plan for triggers. Cravings usually ease after a few weeks. Several attempts may be needed, and each one increases the chance of success.
