Building Research Locally; Supporting Research Nationally
Smoking and tobacco use are significant risk factors for a variety of chronic disorders
such as stroke, lung cancer, and coronary heart disease. According to the CDC, cigarette smoking
is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, including more than

workplaces and public places. The Cleveland Clinic's campuses went smoke-free in July 2005.

supply of nicotine patches for workers in its employee health plan.

cessation to include smoke-free workplaces, a campaign to prevent youth from taking up
tobacco, and funding for tobacco control programs. Enforcing smoking bans can be difficult,
