The tobacco epidemic is one of the biggest public health threats, killing around 8 million people a year according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which was developed by WHO, recommended in its guideline that tobacco tax increase and other tobacco control measures such as education, advertising bans, smoke-free policy, warning lables and nicotine dependence treatments for smokers should be applied. Most smokers want to quit smoking, however, which is not easy because of nicotine dependence. Physicians can help smokers quit smoking by assessing their dependence and motivating them on their clinic visits. Mainly due to raising tobacco taxes in 2015, various tobacco addiction treatments including financial support of smoking cessation couselling were available in Korea. This review covers the substantial change in smoking cessation services and related polices in korea after tobacco tax increase.
