(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 29 - It's called "quitting smoking" and is the new web platform developed by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Iss) to help people who have decided to say goodbye to cigarettes.
It contains information and concrete support services, as well as a series of useful strategies to win the battle against smoking.
"Many studies show that without support only 4% of quit smoking attempts will be successful", highlights the ISS.
The platform therefore represents a resource for increasing the chances of success and providing quality information on many aspects, starting with the effects of smoking on health and on the risks of exposure to passive smoking.
A pdf guide is also available on the platform for those who want to quit smoking.
A sort of diary in which it is also possible to write down the reasons why you have decided to give up the habit, in which you can evaluate your level of dependence and also keep track of the money that you can save by saying goodbye to the package.
The platform also offers help to prevent or cope with a relapse.
Inside there are, then, the lists of the Anti-Smoking Centers that offer dedicated itineraries.
For those wishing to speak to an operator, it is also possible to call the Green Phone Against Smoke 800 554088, a national service, anonymous and free, active from Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 16:00.
