Tobacco cessation refers to the process of quitting tobacco use in any form, including smoking, chewing, or vaping. Tobacco use is highly addictive and poses significant health risks, including an increased risk of cancer, heart disease, respiratory problems, and other serious health conditions. Quitting tobacco is one of the best decisions a person can make for their overall health and well-being.
It's important to note that quitting tobacco can be challenging, and different approaches work for different individuals. Consulting with a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or a tobacco cessation specialist, can provide personalized guidance and support throughout the quitting process.
Remember, quitting tobacco is one of the best investments in your health and well-being. The benefits of quitting extend far beyond physical health and can lead to improved quality of life, increased energy levels, and a sense of accomplishment.
Sir Ganga Ram Tobacco Cessation Centre offers specialized services to help individuals overcome their smoking or tobacco chewing habits. As one of the pioneering hospitals in India to provide a comprehensive program for tobacco dependence treatment, we are committed to assisting people in their journey towards quitting tobacco for good. Our Structured Tobacco Cessation Program is designed to effectively support individuals in quitting their addictions and maintaining long-term abstinence.
We understand the challenges associated with nicotine dependence and the addictive nature of tobacco products. Our program provides a stepped care intervention, offering a range of interventions tailored to meet the needs of each individual. Through multiple counseling sessions, we help smokers modify their behavior and provide step-by-step assistance during their quit attempts.
Our program is open to smokers of various tobacco products, including cigarettes, bidis, hukka, pipes, cigars, and tobacco chewers using products like Khaini, gukta, pan masala, zarda, and paan with tobacco.
The Structured Tobacco Cessation Program at Sir Ganga Ram Tobacco Cessation Centre is highly individualized. Each smoker or tobacco habitué receives intensive psychotherapeutic interventions and may also be prescribed pharmacotherapy (medicines) to help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with quitting. Our goal is to make the quitting process as comfortable and manageable as possible.
The treatment program typically consists of 7-8 therapeutic sessions spread over a two-week period. It covers two crucial aspects of quitting: the act of quitting itself and preventing relapse. Our approach includes a detailed assessment procedure, which may involve psychometric testing and physiological tests to gain a comprehensive understanding of each individual's needs.
