How to quit tobacco smoking?

 

 
 

Here is what policymakers can do:

 

Ban flavours. Make flavours a thing of the past.

Regulate product design. Less appealing. Less addictive. Less toxic. Less harm.

Plain packaging. Reduce appeal, save lives.

Ban advertising, promotion and sponsorship. Out of sight, out of mind.

Tobacco and nicotine-free public places. Clean air is everyone’s right. Protect people.

Support quitting. Break the cycle of nicotine addiction.

Increase taxes. Less affordable. Less accessible.
