Quitting smoking has never been easy, but today it can be a little less difficult. At the heart of this strategy is a name still little known to the general public: cytisine.
Since March 30, the Italian National Health Service has been reimbursing citisin-based medication, facilitating access to one of the most effective therapies for quitting smoking. This initiative aims to support those suffering from addiction by breaking down economic barriers. To access the benefit, however, it is mandatory to visit a smoke-free centre and to combine medical treatment with ongoing psychological and behavioural support.
