Implementation of a Free Smoking-Cessation Program in a Lebanese Academic Medical Center

The American University of Beirut (AUB), with an affiliated tertiary medical center, developed one of the first smoking-cessation programs in the country in 2015 in response to an identified need within the university community. The program offers counseling to promote learning behavior modification and provides nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), including nicotine gum and patch.

A detailed description of the methods, results and conclusion of the program implementation is explained in the report.
