AB  - Cigarette  smoking,  which  is  responsible  for  >400,000  deaths  annually,  represents  the  single  most  avoidable  cause  of  premature  death  in  the  United  States  today.  While  the  prevalence  of  smoking  in  the  United  States  has  declined  since  the  early  1960s,  >40  million  adults  are  current  smokers  (20%  prevalence  among  adults),  ensuring  that  this  behavior  will  continue  to  influence  rates  of  premature  morbidity  and  ­mortality  rates  for  decades  to  come.  Most  people  begin  smoking  during  their  teenage  years  and  struggle  to  quit  as  adults.  Clinicians  need  to  view  nicotine  dependence  as  a  chronic  health  condition  with  exacerbations  and  remissions.
