Smoking is a public health epidemic. Over 20% of adults in the USA smoke according to the American Heart Association. Benefits of smoking cessation are realizable and readily apparent: reductions in the risk of heart, kidney, and lung disease, reduction in the risk of stroke and certain cancers, blood pressure improvement, increased life expectancy, economic benefits, and the positive externality in secondhand smoke reduction are some of the more common benefits cited by public health experts. Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of chronic illness in our country, and, despite the well-publicized benefits, quitting smoking remains difficult. Many smokers do not wish to undergo the negative physiological effects of detoxification from nicotine dependence. Others lack the resources, support and motivation to make this lifestyle change. Providers, moreover, struggle to find a simple, effective intervention that will help their smoking population kick the habit.
