Smoking Cessation Within Tobacco Control: "Probably Not What You're Thinking"

Overview

This webinar will address what is occurring in the field of smoking cessation. We will examine what the tobacco industry is doing for cessation. The major tobacco manufacturers state that they want their customers to stop smoking cigarettes and smoke their new products. We will identify these new products and what may be the potential public health consequences. There will be a discussion of medications that also assist with smoking cessation.
