Great American Smokeout is today
As you may know, today is the Great American Smokeout....a great time to nag those co-workers who congregate outside the hospital and light up. (I don't know about other places, but despite rules that prohibit smoking within a certain distance of hospital entrances, plenty of folks here in Philly still puff away near the doors.)
By the way, look in the January issue of ACP Hospitalist for tips on helping hospitalized patients quit smoking. ACP Internist recently ran an article on smoking cessation tips, as well.
