Changing habits--an experience in industry.
A company-sponsored No Smoking Clinic was attended by 118 persons. The sessions consisted of a total of eight hours divided over five consecutive work days. A 12 month follow-up showed a "quit rate" of 25%. This experience in behavior modification is consistent with the goals of preventive medicine and can be adapted to an industrial setting. Approaches of this type should offer us a challenge in the future.
