TOBACCO CESSATION PROGRAM

Many people attempt to stop smoking but often fail because of the addictive nature of nicotine and other drugs. Assisted programs have the best chance of helping people quit the habit, and among such programs Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is known to be one of the most effective because it helps change and restructure thought process. A combination of workshops and an assisted online CBT program and mindfulness are found to be effective for those employees that are attempting tobacco cessation.

Our program aims to help:

• Increase awareness of smoking and its ill effects

• Identify common beliefs about smoking and provide facts and information that counter them

• Present individual and group smoking cessation intervention strategies for those who express an interest to quit
