Official Tabex
Quit smoking guides
Practical guides to preparing for a quit date, recognising smoking triggers and building routines that support a smoke-free life. Includes clear explanations of Tabex, cytisine and the questions to consider before use.
Our articles are written by the Official Tabex team of health and medical experts. We bring years of experience in smoking cessation to our writing because we want to share what we’ve learned with people who don’t work in the field. When we discuss a study or answer a question, we explain how we reached our conclusions. We want readers to see the evidence for themselves and feel equipped to ask their own questions.
