The "I Quit Smoking" service is a professional initiative managed by the Center for Public Health of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, aimed at assisting individuals in their journey to quit smoking. This resource addresses the urgent need to tackle tobacco addiction, which claims over 8 million lives annually worldwide, including approximately 130,000 in Ukraine. A significant number of smokers express a desire to quit, yet many lack the knowledge or confidence to do so effectively.

The platform offers valuable information on quitting smoking, personalized cessation plans, and guidance on supporting loved ones. It features research-backed strategies and practical advice verified by health experts. Initiated in 2017 and updated in 2023, "I Quit Smoking" continues to provide essential resources for smokers at all stages of their quitting journey, from contemplation to post-cessation support. The service is inclusive, catering to smokers, those considering quitting, former smokers, and anyone wishing to assist a smoker in their efforts to quit.
