title: From rapid smoking to the Internet: five decades of cessation research.
abstract: This review summarizes the author's smoking cessation research from the 1960s into the 21st century. Both contextual and personal factors that led the author to undertake cessation research and to move from intensive clinical interventions to brief, population-focused interventions, especially in healthcare settings, are described. Suggestions are offered as to how research can address the problem of inconsistent delivery of effective interventions in healthcare settings.
