Abstract

Dear Editor-in-Chief: Quitting smoking is the single most important step a smoker can take to improve the length and quality of his or her life (www.lung.org). However, stopping smoking can be tough due to the addictive nature of nicotine. Thus, governments need to encourage smokers to quit and provide assistance to those who need help by formulating smoker-friendly policies. However, tobacco control efforts in developing countries such as India have mostly concentrated on advertising bans, package labeling, prohibition of smoking at public places and raising taxes. Such policies encourage the social norm of non-smoking and increase the demand for cessation services. However, poor cessation services will lead to more relapses and failed quit attempts. Several evidence based strategies like behavioral therapies, group and individual counseling, quitlines, pharmacotherapy (all forms of NRT, Bupropion, Varenicline), quit and win, text messaging have been repeatedly shown to in-crease quit rates significantly. Despite strong evidence based strategies, smoking cessation is not necessarily approached as a key tobacco-control strategy.
