Your practice team can support patients to stop smoking and aim to improve their health outcomes. Nicotine is the substance in cigarettes that makes smoking addictive. When a person smokes, they also breathe in around 7,000 other chemicals found in cigarette smoke. Many of these chemicals are created when the tobacco leaf burns, and some can cause serious and harmful changes in the body.
If you have any questions relating to Smoking, please contact our Primary Care Engagement Officers.
