    Abstract
    ABSTRACT
    This quality improvement program sought to institute a sustainable individual smoking cessation program in an urban, industrial workplace clinic. Smoking prevalence in adults in Nebraska greatly exceeds 12%, the goal established by Healthy People 2020. Low smoking rate benefits for the workplace include increased productivity, and less absenteeism. Participants had four high intensity counseling meetings with the P.I., plus two follow up phone calls. Two of the seven participants quit smoking during the program and both follow up calls, four cut back on the number of cigarettes smoked daily, and three had at least one quit attempt of 24 hours or longer. The program was critically evaluated with the assistance of clinic staff to ensure sustainability.
