Tobacco smoke contains nicotine which is addictive, and sudden withdrawal from it can often make the process of smoking cessation therapy difficult. One of the major ways helps in smoking cessation include nicotine replacement therapy or the replacement of the nicotine consumption with other means like nicotine gum, lozenges, nasal sprays, or inhalers, that can avoid trigger situations like urge to smoke. Additionally, some of the major benefits associated with the smoking cessation include better health, betting family, and money saving among others. Moreover, the popularity of electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes among the population as an alternative of smoking is supporting the smoking cessation initiatives.

Market Dynamics

The increasing government initiatives to implement the anti-smoking policy and to spread awareness regarding the health complications associated with smoking, The World Health Organization (WHO) has initiated a program named ‘Tobacco Free Initiative’, which includes the implementation of plain packaging, particularly to reduce the attractiveness of the product, additionally the screening of documentaries and videos to inform the public about the hazards of smoking. The use of tobacco can lead to tobacco/nicotine dependence and serious health problems. As tobacco smoke contains a deadly mix of more than 7,000 chemicals, hundreds of them are harmful, and about 70 can cause cancer. Whereas, quitting smoking reduces the risk of developing smoking-related diseases. The Food and Drug Administration (US) has launched an adult smoking cessation therapy education campaign in 2017 aimed at encouraging cigarette smokers to stop smoking. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2017, 14 of every 100 US adults aged 18 years or older (14.0%) smoke cigarettes.

On the other hand, the strong dependency of smokers on smoking cravings and side effects associate with smoking cessation like headaches, nausea, tingling in hands and feet, irritability, frustration, anger, and constipation are restraining the growth in the market.
