FactSheet : Supporting someone to quit smoking

Abstract

Quitting smoking is the best investment a smoker can make to improve their health. Making the decision to quit is a big one. If you’re supporting someone to quit it is important to recognise that they have to want to do it for their own reasons, and not because of pressure from a friend or family member. Take your cue from the person who is quitting and be strategic in the support that you offer.
