TL;DR
Repeated clinical tobacco-cessation counseling is one of the three most important and cost-effective preventive services that can be provided in medical practice and greater efforts are needed to achieve more of this potential value by increasing current low levels of performance.
Abstract
This analysis makes repeated clinical tobacco-cessation counseling one of the three most important and cost-effective preventive services that can be provided in medical practice. Greater efforts are needed to achieve more of this potential value by increasing current low levels of performance.
