This report introduces the concept of the Tobacco Cessation Ecosystem (TCE), a model that emphasizes maximizing the reach and effectiveness of tobacco cessation interventions by integrating different tobacco cessation services and supporting them with consistent funding and strong policies. A TCE approach aligns and integrates services across diverse clinical and public health systems, ensuring maximum impact through sustainable, equitable, population-level access to evidence-based services that support tobacco users to quit. The TCE is enhanced by the success of other tobacco control initiatives that increase motivation to quit and decrease the influence of the tobacco industry.
