WHO issues new guidelines to help adults quit tobacco

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued guidelines to aid adults in quitting tobacco, emphasizing behavioural support, digital interventions, and medication. With 750 million users wanting to quit, recommendations cover various tobacco products. Due to limited resources, 70% lack access to cessation services. WHO advises combining pharmacotherapy with behavioral support for successful cessation. Free or low-cost medications like varenicline and NRT are encouraged, especially in low-income countries. WHO prequalified Kenvue's NRT products in 2024.
