Tobacco cessation service

Tobacco cessation service
The smoke-free policies in India were enforced since 2 October 2008 and different states are at varying levels of its implementation, yet the tobacco cessation services are still limited to very few clinics in India.

A lead article published in The Economist (7-13 March 2009) says: "Tobacco is more addictive than virtually all of them [narcotic drugs]. With tobacco being highly addictive, high-quality and reliable tobacco cessation service is inevitable in order to facilitate the people to quit the tobacco use in any form.

Tobacco Cessation service includes personal counseling, & coaching which help the employees and supervisors in understanding the road blocks to their tobacco cessation attempts.

"The Counselor" team focuses on
  • Information on the effects of tobacco use and reasons to quit
  • Telephonic counseling and support services
  • Ear acupuncture & peer based quitting program
  • Medical interventions and Nicotine replacement therapy
  • Health and wellness coaching
