ABSTRACT

Tobacco is one of the greatest public health threats the world has ever faced. Currently, the annual death toll is approximately 6 million people. It is also the leading preventable cause of mortality, and those individuals who quit smoking are less likely to develop, and potentially die due to tobacco related illnesses. The advances in clinical experience and scientific investigation in the field of tobacco consumption, make it possible that today, based on evidence, excellent treatment methods and strategies are readily available for those who wish to quit smoking.
