AB  - Cigarette  smoking  is  the  leading  preventable  cause  of  death  in  the  United  States,  responsible  for  an  estimated  443,000  deaths  per  year,  or  one  in  every  five  deaths.  Physicians  often  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  to  four  cigarettes  per  day  increases  the  risk  of  myocardial  infarction  and  cardiovascular  mortality.  Smoking  cigarettes  with  reduced  tar  and  nicotine  content  does  not  protect  against  the  health  hazards  of  smoking.  Smoking  cessation  treatment  is  one  of  the  most  cost-effective  actions  available  to  clinicians.
