Our study is an important step towards the development of a contextually relevant intervention suited for low- and middle-income countries and which is responsive to the needs of both those who used smoked and smokeless tobacco. If found to be effective, our intervention would be a scalable solution to overcome the human resource related barrier to accessing tobacco cessation services in low resource settings.
