Tobacco Cessation: How to Support Individuals Trying to Quit - Psychology and Physiology of Quitting

Do you continue to find yourself explaining the harms of smoking to your patients but find they still haven’t quit? Have you considered the psychological factors that influence their motivation to quit or considered the physiological basis of nicotine addiction?

Join VHQC and the American Cancer Society for part one of a three-part webinar series focused on tobacco cessation.

Our speaker, Lee Westmaas, PhD, will describe factors that individually and interactively influence smokers’ motivation to quit and their success in quitting. 


After attending this webinar, you will:

  • Describe the psychology of quitting
  • Recognize physiology of quitting
