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.

- People who chew tobacco, naswar, gutka or paan
- People with heart, lung or other conditions made worse by tobacco

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
