NICE has published the Tobacco: Treating Dependence quality standard (QS207). BTOG endorses this hugely helpful quality standard which covers support and treatment to stop smoking and stop using smokeless tobacco, and harm-reduction approaches for people who are not ready to stop in one go. It describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement.
The full standard can be read on the NICE website.
