Abstract

By 2030, 80% of the annual 8.3 million deaths attributable to tobacco will be in low-income countries (LICs). Yet, services to support people to quit tobacco are not part of routine primary care in LICs. This study explored the challenges to implementing a behavioural support (BS) intervention to promote tobacco cessation within primary care in Nepal.

This research is supported by the Department for International Development’s COMDIS–HSD Programme which is led by the University of Leeds
