CDC is pleased to announce a virtual session of Public Health Grand Rounds. Speakers will present key findings on the recently released US Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking Cessation. Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death and disease in the United States. Although the percentage of adults who smoke is at an all-time low in the US, 34 million adults still smoke and therefore continue to be at risk of developing smoking-related diseases. The 2020 Surgeon General’s report is the first to focus solely on smoking cessation since 1990. Grand Rounds speakers will discuss progress on smoking cessation made over the past decades, such as clinical treatments and tools that increase the chances of success. Presenters will also give updates on the health benefits of quitting smoking and what strategies work best to help people quit smoking for good.
Sessions are open to the public. Watch live on their website. The link to the session will be live five minutes before the presentation. Open captions will be provided. The session will be posted 3-4 days after each presentation to the On Demand page of their website.
