WHEN TO CONTACT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL

Call your doctor if you are a smoker and:

• You want an individual health risk profile
• You want to learn about methods to stop tobacco use
• You are pregnant, planning a pregnancy in the future, or using birth control pills
• You have symptoms of specific diseases associated with tobacco use (even if you are a nonsmoker exposed to secondhand smoke)

Other resources include local chapters of the American Lung Association and the American Cancer Society. Both organizations have a wide range of resource materials and comprehensive smoking cessation programs.
