For millions of smokers, quitting smoking is hard. With two new grants, Elisa Tong , professor of medicine at UC Davis Health and medical director of the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center's Stop Tobacco Program , is working to improve tobacco cessation programs and make them more accessible. "Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the U.S., responsible for about one in five deaths annually. That's 1,300 deaths every day!," said Tong, who is a faculty member affiliated with the UC Davis Center for Healthcare Policy and Research (CHPR).
