Stopping smoking, nicotine replacement therapy and ecigarettes


Smoking tobacco is much more common amongst users of illicit drugs than it is amongst the general population, and it can seem like a minor problem in comparison to those caused by injecting or illicit drug use

and for this reason it is often overlooked by drug users, and drug workers who postpone considering change with regard to smoking until a 'better time'.

However, smoking is a huge preventable cause of illness and premature death and an issue which studies have shown drug users are aware of and anxious about. It is an under-researched area, but it seems highly likely that helping drug users stop smoking could deliver significant improvements to their:
  • health;

  • finances; and

  • self esteem


and teach them about:
  • dependence;

  • withdrawal management;


  • cravings; and

  • maintenance of abstinence


- all of which are useful skills, information, and experience to have when making changes in the use of other drugs.
