Levels of Prevention: (Summary- the easiest way to remember these for most conditions is Primary=Prevention, Secondary=Screening, and Tertiary=Treatment; smoking is just a little special because you don't need to screen for it)
-Primary = strategies aiming to prevent new cases (e.g. increasing prices of tobacco products, using the profits to fund tobacco control programs, implementing smoke-free policies, restricting advertising campaigns that promote smoking, etc.)
-Secondary = smoking cessation (e.g. cessation programs, support groups, nicotine gum (although its effectiveness is very debatable), etc.)
-Tertiary = treatment of complications (e.g. pulmonary rehabilitation, home oxygen tanks, anything that prolongs the lives of people with smoking-related chronic conditions)
