your health. Stop Smoking Workbook 5 About This Workbook You may be reading this introduction as a member of one of our Stop Smoking Groups. Perhaps you are considering using this workbook to assist you in overcoming smoking on your own. Or you may be a nonsmoker seeking information about tobacco dependence and how you could support a friend or loved one who is trying to achieve freedom from smoking. Regardless of your motivation, we hope you will find content in this workbook that will be of use to you. The Fontana Tobacco Treatment Center (FTTC) at the UCSF Medical Center was founded by a physician and a nurse who are former smokers and have witnessed im- mensely debilitating effects of prolonged tobacco use. Recognizing that stopping smok- ing is the single most important thing a smoker can do to improve health, they created the FTTC as a resource for smokers and their friends and family, and also for medical personnel. The FTTC offers group and individual support for smokers, and it serves as an educational resource for health-care providers and the public. This workbook is structured into four weekly lessons. Because each lesson builds on the previous ones, the sequence is important. Information in each lesson is organized into three sections: medical implications of tobacco dependence, understanding and building motivation, and planning skills to help you reach your goals.
