About me:

On August 2, 2006, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health convened It's Quitting Time L.A!, the first ever countywide smoking cessation summit. Summit organizers brought together 125 high-level leaders, representing approximately 70 organizations representing public health, physicians, nurses, dentists, health plans, pharmaceutical companies, universities, and retail outlets, to identify and implement effective strategies in key areas of smoking cessation, specifically pharmacotherapy and counseling.
