Smoking Cessation
According to the National Institute of Health:
Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death in the United States.
- An estimated 45.8 million adults in the United States smoke cigarettes.
- More than 8.6 million Americans currently suffer from at least one serious illness caused by smoking.
- Use of other smoked tobacco products, such as cigars and pipes, also lead to addiction, disease, and death.
- Smokeless tobacco has also been determined to be a human carcinogen.
The Seretean Wellness Center uses Smoke Stoppers™, a nationally known program to help smokers kick the habit.
Classes are taught intermittently either at the Seretean Wellness Center or at different departments across the
campus.
