title: Smoking cessation and prevention in women of reproductive age: resources and partnerships for physicians.
abstract: The importance of smoking cessation and prevention as a women's issue is clear--physicians who interact with women of reproductive age are in an excellent position to influence women's decisions to quit smoking. This paper provides information on community resources physicians can offer to their patients to help support their cessation attempts and describes a new partnership opportunity that physicians can become involved with.
