Physicians care for the health consequences of their patients’ tobacco use, and it is equally important for them to prevent smoking-related disease. There is no safe level of tobacco use. Smoking as few as one cigarette per day increases the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. Smoking cessation extends life and treating tobacco use is one of the most cost-effective preventive actions available to clinicians.
