How to Talk to Patients About Quitting Smoking

When health care providers provide brief, simple advice about quitting smoking they increase the likelihood that patients will quit and remain quit a year later.¹

The following short, training videos are provided by the Cease Smoking Today (CS2day) partners, and were developed as part of an initiative supported by unrestricted educational grants from Pfizer, Inc. CS2day integrates current science with a thorough assessment of physician/healthcare professional needs into innovative and traditional educational formats.
