The Art of Health Promotion

Abstract

Tobacco use and smoking continue to be one of the most important potentially preventable health problems of the 21st century. A large number of studies published in the peer-reviewed literature now inform much of our employer-based programming efforts. Worksite settings and health plan member populations are served primarily through worksite-based interventions, which are examined in this literature review. As a consequence, a number of important resulting "best practices" for smoking cessation efforts with employed populations are presented for consideration in this edition of The Art of Health Promotion.
