What is NOT a recommended method for assisting patients with smokeless tobacco dependence?

Providing regular access to tobacco products is not a recommended method for assisting patients with smokeless tobacco dependence. In fact, supporting someone in overcoming dependence typically involves strategies that actively facilitate cessation, rather than maintain access to the substance in question.

Rewards related to quitting, understanding the health risks of smokeless tobacco, and encouraging persistence in attempts to quit are all integral components of successfully addressing tobacco dependence. Strategies that reinforce the idea of quitting and emphasize the benefits of cessation create a supportive environment that promotes health and well-being. Regular access to tobacco would counteract these efforts by making it easier for the individual to continue the behavior rather than work towards quitting.
