Take a Deep Breath and Quit Smoking Comfortably this Holiday Season

Smoking causes nearly one in five deaths every year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition, it significantly increases the risk for lung cancer, stroke and coronary heart disease. While more than 46 million American adults are smokers, approximately 70 percent want to quit.

“Smoking is more than a dirty habit,” says Frank Leone, MD, MS, director of Penn’s Comprehensive Smoking Treatment Program. “Most people who smoke know the risks, but they are addicted. They expect to suffer uncomfortable side effects and they are afraid to fail. Our goal is to help them quit, but maintain a normal life and level of comfort during the process.”

Penn’s Comprehensive Smoking Treatment program is one of only 10 programs of its kind in the country. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 888-PENN-STOP (7366-7867) or 800-789-PENN (7366).
