5183.0 Smoking: Reducing risk through cessation and decreasing secondhand smoke exposure

Wednesday, November 10, 2010: 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM
Oral
Despite progress in reducing secondhand smoke exposure in the United States, serious risks still exist. According to the 2006 Surgeon General's report on involuntary smoke exposure, more than 126 million nonsmokers in the United States continue to be exposed to secondhand smoke in homes, vehicles, workplaces, and public places. Children, in particular, are at risk for exposure to secondhand smoke: an estimated 60% of U.S. children are exposed to secondhand smoke. Presentations in this session focus on reducing involuntary tobacco smoke exposure through cessation and secondhand smoke awareness interventions.
Session Objectives: 1. Identify successful intervention strategies for cessation and reducing environmental tobacco smoke exposure. 2. Describe need for improved access to cessation programs and policies to reduce environmental tobacco smoke.
