Smoking Cessation: A Report of the Surgeon General.

We are excited to announce the release of the new report, Smoking Cessation: A Report of the Surgeon General – Information and Resources. This is the first Surgeon General’s report since 1990 to focus solely on smoking cessation. The report:

• Discusses patterns of adult smoking and smoking cessation in the U.S.;
• Updates findings on the biology of addiction and smoking cessation;
• Reviews the immediate- and long-term health benefits of smoking cessation;
• Examines clinical treatments and tools, including counseling and medications, proven to increase smoking cessation; and
• Highlights population-based strategies proven to increase smoking cessation.
