 The Substance Abuse Advisory Council Secretariat in the Ministry of Health has been undertaking a series of workshops aimed at equipping individuals in the health and social care sectors with the necessary guidelines to assist tobacco users to quit. Deputy Coordinator of the Substance Abuse Advisory Council Secretariat Joanna Joseph Henry spoke on the need to ensure tobacco control and tobacco dependency treatment as inclusion implements smoke-free spaces. We are implementing smoke-free spaces but at the same time we are offering help to individuals who need help to quit. We know it's not easy but we encourage anybody who is smoking or anybody who knows somebody who is smoking to encourage that person to get help. If you're not sure where to go, you can check with your wellness centre as we implement the wellness centres we'll all be able to offer eventually but you can also call our office at the Substance Abuse Secretariat so that we can put you in touch with one of our service providers. The Deputy Coordinator highlighted the involvement of various agencies to work towards delivering tobacco interventions. We have over 30 agencies who are participating in this training, so the wellness centres from the Ministry of Health, the pharmacists, some of them, the doctors, nurses, social workers as well as community officers in the other ministries, the boys training centre, the bodily correctional facility, all of those types of agencies are going to be able to offer this service. So the way it's going to run is that this will be integrated into the normal routine of these individuals and it's very easy to deliver. It's an algorithm or a structured set of interventions that is based on very sound clinical, medical and psychological theories and approaches. The tobacco cessation training workshop was made possible through the technical and financial assistance of the Pan American Health Organization PAHO and the World Health Organization WHO.
