(5/5) We propose using the @WHO Clinical Treatment Guideline + the RE-AIM framework to #implement this effectively (see figures in the first tweet of the thread). Guidelines here:

(4/5) #Benefits of smoking cessation: ↓ Risk of cancer, #cardiovascular diseases, COPD. Better outcomes for those diagnosed with cancer: longer #survival, fewer complications, improved #quality of life.

(3/5)🚨 The EU Commission recommends implementing #lungcancer #screening across 🇪🇺. Half of screening participants #smoke. Few will screen positive, but many will die from smoking-related #diseases if they keep smoking. Screening is a key moment to support #cessation.

(2/5) 🚨~173 million adults in #Europe (25% of the adults) use #tobacco = 1.15 million tobacco related #deaths (nearly half due to #cancer) each year! Europe lags behind🌍@WHO targets on reducing tobacco use (by 30% until 2025). Progress has stopped!.
