Abstract

Nicotine is one of more than 4,000 chemicals found in the smoke from tobacco products; it is the primary component that acts on the brain and cause huge damage on brain and also respiratory system and cause heart diseases, cancer. Mental health rehabilitation is a form of rehabilitation that focuses on helping people to recover lost skills in coping with the demands of everyday life and restoring relationships that may have become strained or damaged as a result of problems related to mental illness Rehabilitation Interventions

Rehabilitative interventions focus primarily on improving the individual‘s functioning and quality of life rather than reducing the symptoms of illness. The basic approaches of rehabilitation involve helping the client to build skills and establish supports needed to function as well and as independently as possible in normative adult roles and to develop a satisfying life in the community Tobacco dependence is a chronically relapsing condition. A minority of tobacco users – whether they smoke or use smokeless products – achieves permanent abstinence in an initial attempt to quit. Most tobacco users who want to quit go through multiple periods of relapse and remission. As with other chronic disorders, people with tobacco dependence should be provided with effective and adequate treatment.
