Combating Tobacco Use in Military and Veteran Populations by Committee on Smoking Cessation in Military and Veteran Populations
English | Nov 4, 2009 | ISBN: 0309137675 | 380 Pages | PDF | 1.4 MB

The health and economic costs of tobacco use in military and veteran populations are high. In 2007, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) requested that the Institute of Medicine (IOM) make recommendations on how to reduce tobacco initiation and encourage cessation in both military and veteran populations. In its 2009 report, Combating Tobacco in Military and Veteran Populations, the authoring committee concludes that to prevent tobacco initiation and encourage cessation, both DoD and VA should implement comprehensive tobacco-control programs.
