We found evidence that more intensive structured care given by community pharmacy sta probably helps more people to quit smoking than less intensive support to quit. Quality of the evidence We found low-quality evidence that community pharmacy support helps people to quit smoking. Limitations of the evidence came from potential problems with the ways some of the studies were carried out and the low numbers of people who quit smoking across the included studies, which means we are not sure how effective these programmes really are.
