"All Fellows of the ACCP take the 'no tobacco' pledge, stating that they will remain tobacco-free and encourage their patients to do the same," said James A. L. Mathers, Jr., MD, FCCP, President of the American College of Chest Physicians. "The results of this study will give health-care providers more insight into the severity of nicotine dependence and the importance of individualized treatment plans for tobacco dependence. The study will also benefit ACCP members as they continue to fulfill their pledge of helping patients stop smoking."

CHEST 2008 is the 74th annual international scientific assembly of the American College of Chest Physicians, held October 25-30 in Philadelphia, PA. ACCP represents 17,000 members who provide patient care in the areas of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine in the United States and throughout the world. The ACCP's mission is to promote the prevention and treatment of diseases of the chest through leadership, education, research, and communication.
