SMOKING CESSATION

Today, an estimated 45 million US adults smoke. Tobacco use can cause lung cancer, as well as other cancers, heart disease, and lung disease. Smoking is responsible for 1 in 3 cancer deaths, and 1 in 5 deaths from all causes. Another 8.6 million people are living with serious illnesses caused by smoking. QuitSmart ™ is a state of the art system for smoking cessation. It combines powerful treatments to help individuals break free from cigarettes, and is validated by over 20 years of research and practice. Dr. Shipley, the founding Director of the Duke Medical Center Stop Smoking Clinic, has trained clinicians in hundreds of hospitals, universities, government agencies, and companies to help smokers quit. Jeffrey S. Kahn, Ph.D. CGP, DABPS, was trained by Dr. Shipley and is a Certified QuitSmart Facilitator ®. He has been helping people free themselves from nicotine and other addictions for more than 20 years. He also holds the American Psychological Association’s Certificate of Proficiency in the Treatment of Alcohol and Other Substance Use Disorders.
