   Introduction

UNC LUNG CENTER SMOKING CESSATION PROGRAM

Smoking is undoubtedly one of the greatest preventable health hazards our society faces. Among the many ill effects of smoking, it significantly contributes to the development of heart disease, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and lung cancer. Because smoking is such a difficult habit to break, yet so important, the UNC Lung Center has developed a smoking cessation program for those who are ready to quit! The course addresses smoking habits, the formation of a quitting plan, the use of medications to aid quitting, stress management/support, exercise and nutrition, and tips to prevent relapse into smoking again.
