| Abstract: | The discouragement of tobacco abuse in the military requires effective smoking cessation assistance for all active duty and dependent personnel. Specifically tailoring this assistance to the unique features of the various military communities will help to make it more effective. The program presented herein was designed for use in the submarine fleet. It combines basic proven workplace smoking cessation techniques with lessons learned from experience in submarines. It is believed that other military populations can benefit from similar efforts. This paper is an abridged version of the author's Submarine Medical Officer qualification thesis. |
