ENSP is a fervent supporter of strong smoking cessation activities as a means to combat smoking prevalence. ENSP encourages the implementation of WHO FCTC Article 14 on Provision of support for reducing tobacco dependence and cessation. As the Guidelines for Implementing Article 14 state, it is encouraged to create a sustainable infrastructure which motivates attempts to quit, to identify the key, effective measures needed to promote tobacco cessation and incorporate tobacco dependence treatment into national tobacco control programmes and finally for national states to share experiences and collaborate in order to facilitate the development or strengthening of support for tobacco cessation and tobacco dependence treatment.
