In this Director's Briefing video, CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden talks about how two-thirds of tobacco users want to quit, but fewer than one in ten succeed each year; however, advice from doctors can double or triple the odds that someone will quit for good. Doctors, pharmacists, physician assistants, nurses, and all healthcare providers need to play a critical role in helping tobacco users quit.
