Thoracic Surgeons and smoking cessation

The use of social media by health care professionals to connect with our patients has increased at a phenomenal rate in this age of enhanced technology, social networking and smartphones.

Thoracic surgeons, preventative medicine and other pulmonary specialists at the University of Tennessee – Health Science Center in Memphis have created a new Apple application for help smokers finally put down those cigarettes for good.  The application which is called “Quit Forever App” is free and is an important tool in an increasing arsenal of health-related applications.
