Policy plays a significant role in the success of cessation programs. Government regulations and public health policies can:
Increase Funding: Allocate resources to develop and sustain cessation programs. Mandate Coverage: Require health insurance plans to cover cessation treatments. Public Awareness Campaigns: Fund campaigns to raise awareness about the dangers of addictive behaviors and the availability of cessation programs. Regulate Advertising: Restrict advertising of harmful substances such as tobacco and alcohol to reduce their appeal.
