title: The KUFP five-visit quit-smoking program.
abstract: This article has presented an overview of the Quit-Smoking Program developed and modified at the KUMC Department of Family Practice. Originally, this clinic was designed as a group treatment program, facilitated by a psychologist and physician. Recently, however, the program has been modified for office-based primary care physicians. Because smoking is such a deadly habit, it is hoped that physicians will take a more active role in smoking cessation efforts with their patients who are currently smokers.
