Abstract
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? Since 2014, the Chinese government has advocated for the development of smoking cessation clinics (SCCs) within each provincial-level administrative division (PLAD). WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? In the 2019-2021 period, the self-reported 7-day point prevalence of abstinence rates (PPARs) at 1-month and 3-month follow-up were 26.2% and 23.5%, respectively. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE? The interventions implemented by SCCs in this investigation proved to be successful. It is imperative to employ extensive tobacco control strategies in order to enhance the motivation of smokers to seek assistance for cessation from SCCs.
