FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS - Helping Others Quit?

Helping Others Quit

All health professionals who interact with smokers and smokeless tobacco users have opportunities to deliver effective interventions. You know that quitting improves health and saves lives. It is important to recognize quitting smoking is typically a process, not an event. By understanding more about that process, and learning about the most effective methods to treat tobacco use, healthcare professionals can achieve productive interactions with their smoking patients.
