Globally, including the United States, cigarette smoking is the single
most important cause of premature death, even though
it is preventable. The prevalence of smoking is high, although some

interventions have been tried on smoking prevention. From the public
health perspective, it is the biggest concern. As there are
numerous health benefits of smoking cessation, most individuals who
smoke express a desire to quit. Studies show that most
smokers in the United States and the United Kingdom report that they
want to stop or intend to leave smoking at some point in life

interventions now exist to aid smokers in cessation.
