tobacco cessation

Tobacco cessation is the process of quitting tobacco use, which can include cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, or vaping. It involves overcoming physical addiction to nicotine and addressing behavioral habits associated with tobacco use. Successful cessation improves overall health, reduces the risk of diseases like cancer and heart disease, and enhances quality of life. Methods to support quitting include counseling, support groups, medications, and behavioral strategies. While challenging, many people succeed with support and determination, leading to long-term health benefits and a smoke-free lifestyle.
