Though smoking rates in the United States have generally been decreasing over the last 20 years, smoking continues to be a public health issue. A CDC study from 2019 estimates that 34 million Americans are currently smokers, though the rate is likely much higher in reality.
Most people who smoke want to quit, and many try unsuccessfully each year to remain abstinent from cigarettes. This focus on abstinence-only smoking cessation is popular advice given to and by healthcare professionals in the United States, but may also be making it harder for people to reduce cigarette smoking.
We’ll be sitting down with David Sweanor, a lawyer who’s spent the last 40 years creating and refining policy to try to reduce cigarette smoking, to talk about smoking cessation strategies beyond abstinence, health guidelines, and barriers that people may face in quitting. We’ll also discuss how healthcare professionals can best support their patients through smoking cessation.
Our full interview with David will be released soon - so be sure to subscribe to our channel!
