- face-to-face coaching

But which workplace smoking cessation programs are effective and fit your population? This guide can help you make an informed decision.
Defining effective workplace smoking cessation programs
When looking at program choices, the first key consideration is whether your selection is evidence-based.
Evidence-based programs follow the USPHS Clinical Practice Guidelines for Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence. These guidelines define effective tobacco dependence treatment as providing counseling and social support in combination with quit medication. The guidelines also recommend providing support for multiple quit attempts.
Using an evidence-based program that combines these methods and offers support in ways that tobacco users want can have a significant impact on quit rates. For instance, more of today’s consumers prefer the convenience of chat, text, and online resources, making an evidence-based digital intervention a powerful way to reach individuals who use nicotine.
However, just because a program claims to meet users where they are—as with app-only programs, for example—it doesn’t mean they have the solid foundation in data and research that’s needed to be truly effective.
