A Tobacco Cessation Centre set up in a Dental College is of great help in the primary prevention of oral cancer and can bring a drastic increase in quit rates. Our College is equipped with state-of-the-art Tobacco cessation clinic. Here, the trained students and staff spread awareness to the patients through verbal communication, pamphlet distribution and with the help of audio-visual aids. Dependency assessment is done through proper history taking and by the use of smoke analyser. Habit intervention is carried out step by step with distraction protocol and Nicotine replacement therapy. Further, the College has collaboration with habit counselling and rehabilitation centres.
