Smoking Cessation for Employees
Tuesday, February 25, 2020; 12:00 PM CST
More than 68% of smokers report wanting to quit, but most do not use recommended cessation methods resulting in only 4-7% of untreated smokers being likely to successfully quit smoking. Learn about the success story of the Smoking Cessation Program of Employee Occupational Health at the VA in St. Louis, Mo. This program included coaching classes which covered evidence-based recommendations for their quit attempt, nicotine replacement therapy and counseling, and information on alternative options.
