Overview
The use of cigarettes by veterans continues to be a major health challenge. Even though smoking rates are dropping in the general population, veterans continue to use combustible products at rates that are significantly higher than the civilian population. This webinar will discuss the culture and challenges associated with cigarette use in the military and provide insight into what services are available to help veterans quit smoking and how tobacco harm reduction approaches can be integrated to improve the health and quality of life of those who have served our country.
