Smoking cessation
Stopping smoking often takes more than one attempt. A medical assessment reviews tobacco use, previous attempts, mental and cardiovascular health and your preferences to agree a quit date, practical support and medication when appropriate.

WHAT IT IS
Smoking cessation is the process of stopping tobacco use. Because nicotine creates physical and psychological dependence, many people need more than one attempt to succeed.
Withdrawal symptoms can include anxiety, irritability, insomnia, increased appetite and difficulty concentrating — these are usually most intense during the first few weeks.
A medical assessment reviews tobacco use patterns, previous attempts and general health to agree a personalised plan combining behavioural support and, when the doctor considers it appropriate, pharmacological aid.
HOW COMMON IT IS
Daily tobacco consumption in the European Union has declined progressively. Rates vary significantly between countries, with notable differences between northern and southern Europe.
CAUSES
- Physical dependence on nicotine, one of the most addictive substances
- Psychological and behavioural factors associated with the smoking habit
- Social influence and exposure to smoking in one's environment
- Stress or anxiety as triggers for tobacco use
- Genetic factors that influence the speed of nicotine metabolism
TREATMENT APPROACHES
- Structured behavioural support (cognitive-behavioural therapy, counselling)
- Nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum, lozenges) under medical supervision
- Prescription medications such as bupropion or varenicline, when the doctor considers them appropriate
- Setting a quit date with scheduled follow-up
- Identifying and managing consumption triggers
- Digital support or mutual-aid groups as a complement
WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR
See a doctor if you have tried to quit on your own without success, you are concerned about dependence, or you want to explore pharmacological options. A medical assessment can significantly increase the chances of success.
