All tobacco products are addictive, and it can be very difficult to quit smoking cigarettes or to stop using other tobacco products.
Public health authorities such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Surgeon General, and the U.K. Royal College of Physicians, have concluded that nicotine is the addictive component in tobacco.
It is also important to know that millions of people have successfully quit smoking.
Smokers who want to quit should get the right information about how to do so. We agree with public health authorities that cessation should be an integral focus of a comprehensive tobacco policy. In that regard, Article 14 of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control recommends that countries “take effective measures to promote cessation of tobacco use and adequate treatment for tobacco dependence.”
