To***co use remains one of the leading preventable causes of illness and premature death. In Ireland, smoking contributes to approximately 100 deaths and 1,000 hospitalisations every week, and smoking kills 1 in 2 long-term smokers. Even brief advice from healthcare professionals can significantly increase a person’s chances of making a quit attempt.
