Abstract
The National Health Service (NHS) smoking cessation services in England provide interventions to affect smoking cessation across the population. This rapid review examines the effectiveness of the NHS intensive smoking cessation treatments in England. The review contains assessments of available data, in a background reflecting other relevant literature. The available data has been assessed to answer nine preset questions examining in detail the effectiveness of the NHS cessation services and their mode of delivery, delivery settings and their effects on specific sub-groups.
