Tabaccology

We support and accompany the person to quit smoking, with a personalized therapeutic pathway to get rid of nicotine addiction and smoking. Consultations are reimbursed by basic insurance.

Targeted and personalized counseling

The Tobaccology Counseling Service helps people find the right way to quit smoking according to their needs. It is aimed at people who wish to quit smoking and improve their quality of life, as well as those who are undecided.

Quittingsmoking is a different path for everyone. Those who decide to quit smoking are faced with a real moment of change. With the help of tobacco counseling, the person will be able to overcome the difficulties he or she faces, recognize his or her resources, and achieve and maintain the motivation necessary for change.

The role of the experts of the Tobaccology Counseling Service is to constantly accompany the person by supporting him or her both on a specialized and psychological level, with a personalized path. Specifically, the experts:

  • Provide information on the causes and health risks that tobacco use causes and the benefits of quitting or reducing smoking.
  • They provide personalized advice and consultations aimed at quitting smoking.
  • They support motivation to quit smoking.
  • They carry out a cessation attempt by suggesting personalized strategies, motivational and behavioral support, with or without first-choice medication support.
  • They manage the risk of relapse or relapse itself, through follow-up up to 12 months.
  • They help to quit using new electronic devices with or without nicotine (e-cigarettes, vapes, Puff bars, ...) and heated tobacco (e.g., IQOS).
