Podcast on Tobacco, Smoking Patterns, and the Association with Lung Cancer
Author
Howard (Jack) West, MD

skull-with-burning-cigarette-vincent-van-gogh Several weeks ago we did a webinar, co-sponsored with LUNGevity Foundation, with Dr. Mark Millard, pulmonologist at Baylor University in Dallas, TX, who provided a brief summary of tobacco's uptake in the US and worldwide, then covered the controversy over its association with lung cancer.   These are the subject of the first podcast covering his webinar, and part two will cover current approaches to smoking cessation.

Here's the audio and video versions of the podcast, as well as the transcript and figures:
