Adults with mental health conditions smoke at rates at least twice that of the general population. Many want to quit smoking,
and they can, but they need your support.
By including cessation as part of your treatment plan, you can improve more than just their physical health – you can
improve their overall mental and emotional well-being.
Your support can help your patients successfully quit smoking and
live longer, healthier, tobacco-free lives.
