World Health Organization (WHO) (2020) said that, "tobacco epidemic is one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever faced, killing more than 8 million people a year around the world (sec 2, para 1). Therefore, this is a topic that's needs to be address, but you must realize that  there are other products out there that is promising the same thing. NHS (n.d.) defines Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) as "a medication that provides you with a low level of nicotine, without the tar, carbon monoxide and other poisonous chemicals present in tobacco smoke" (sec 2, para 2) also these are some of the product  NHS say a person can use to help with their nicotine addiction

· skin patches

· chewing gum

· inhalators (which look like plastic cigarettes)

· tablets, oral strips and lozenges

· nasal and mouth spray

NHS (sec 2, para 5). 

Therefore, you have to be able to introduce these products to your target audience to let them know their is help for them. Also find other methods that has been know to work in the past to help the use of nicotine. You have a great goal. We want them to stop smoking so try to develop a group and meet with them maybe once or twice out of a month. Your product is a great service for community but remember you have to convince them the importance of not smoking. Again, great post. Just add a little more detail about what they have to help them and that they are not alone.
