Abstract:
During the 20th century, 10 million Americans lives were unnecessarily cut short due to their tobacco use. In 2009, approximately 420,000 Americans lost their lives as well. With 2.8 million children under 18 presently using tobacco, the future well being of our nation is under threat just at the time that the healthcare costs are spinning out of control. It has been shown that the dental team can significantly effect their patients’ decisions to quit their tobacco use. This course will serve as an introductory effort to prepare that team for that role.
