The website and toll-free helpline aim to educate motivated quitters about nicotine addiction and provide guidance that will help them embark on the de-addiction process.
Pfizer India director for medical and regulatory affairs Chandrashekhar Potkar said: “One of the many reasons that smokers find it difficult to quit is because of a lack of a constant support system. The Champs Club will help the smoker understand the seriousness of nicotine addiction and hand-hold them through the quitting process.”
