Tobaccology is the discipline that deals with the mechanism of psychological and/or physical dependence on tobacco. A tobaccologist is qualified to help anyone who wants to stop smoking.

This is a holistic approach, with a psycho-behavioural component, consisting of

• Information on the different methods of stopping smoking
• Assessing motivation to stop smoking and the degree of dependence
• Devising a personalized cessation plan
• Follow-up and support for smokers until they achieve a new smoke-free lifestyle.

At Medicis, the tobaccologist treats adults, adolescents and pregnant women.
