The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has released updated guidance for promoting quitting smoking and treating dependence.
It has been welcomed as “a breath of fresh air” by Louise Ross, the interim chair of the New Nicotine Alliance and former head of Leicestershire stop smoking service.
NICE worked with Public Health England to develop this updated guide. It covers “support to stop smoking for everyone aged 12 and over, and help to reduce people’s harm from smoking if they are not ready to stop in one go.”
The document was released today, Tuesday 30 November, and “brings together and updates all NICE’s previous guidelines on using tobacco, including smokeless tobacco. It covers nicotine replacement therapy and e-cigarettes to help people stop smoking or reduce their harm from smoking.”
