smoking cessation

Ending cigarette habit

Smoking cessation is the process of quitting tobacco use, particularly cigarettes.

The term appears in medical and public health contexts: smoking cessation programs, smoking cessation aids.

It sounds clinical compared to simply saying "quitting smoking," which is why it's favored in formal healthcare settings and research literature.
