SMOKERS looking to kick the habit in 2021 are being urged to embrace online tools including Quit's Make a Plan.
The smoking cessation support service's Director, Dr Sarah White, reported more than 33,000 people used the plan to quit in 2020.
White noted that while many people look to the New Year to make a fresh start and attempt to give up smoking, waiting to get back into a post-holiday routine can often be a better approach to successfully quitting.

White added that research showed combining support services with nicotine replacement therapies was the most effective way to quit.
