Abstract
In the US, cigarette smoking continues to be a significant contributor to preventable diseases and fatalities each year. According to the New York State Department of Health, the smoking rate among adults in Clinton County (which includes Plattsburgh) was 19.9% in 2021. In the state of NY, over 22,000 people lose their lives due to smoking and secondhand smoke exposure. During my rotation at CVPH, I encountered many patients who were smokers and had chronic health conditions such as COPD and expressed a desire to quit smoking but faced challenges in doing so.
