Providing evidence-based tobacco treatment in a group setting is an effective way to help people stop smoking or using other forms of tobacco. Group treatment can help participants explore and resolve ambivalence, raise awareness of tobacco related issues, increase self-esteem, and strengthen readiness for change. Groups also provide a safe and supportive environment to try new things and learn from the experiences of others.
