World No Commercial Tobacco Day – an opportunity to quit
Quitting smoking is tough. The reality is that it can take more than a few tries before quitting for good. This World No (Commercial) Tobacco Day May 31 is an opportunity to make a quit attempt. The best chance for success is combining a form of quit aid, either nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) or medication, with coaching/counselling and support. Different methods of quitting smoking work for different people.
