Colleagues,
According to the Centers for Disease Control, tobacco use is the leading cause of
preventable death in the United States. Cigarette smoking claims more than 400,000 lives
each year in the US alone. And, unfortunately, more than 3,000 teens in the US become
established daily smokers each day. Today's newsletter includes a number of treatment
resources.
