The Ministry of Health’s awareness platform “Live Well” has stressed that switching to different types of tobacco is not an effective way to quit smoking, but merely changes the form of addiction.

The platform explained on X that continuing to smoke in any form means maintaining both nicotine dependence and the same addictive behaviors.

“Live Well” emphasized that awareness is the most important support for those who wish to quit smoking, noting that changing the method of tobacco use does not achieve the goal of breaking this harmful habit.
