Most people realize that smoking cigarettes can increase the risk of heart and lung disease as well as multiple cancers. Like any other habit, the path to quitting smoking takes time and commitment. The extra difficulty is nicotine’s addictive qualities, which can cause a chemical dependence. As physicians, we can’t just counsel patients and say, “Stop smoking because it can be harmful to your health.” Smoking cessation is a process that requires guidance and support. Dr. Frank Leone explains the reasons why people smoke, and the process of smoking cessation and outlines the great resources available at Penn Medicine.

Medical school is a grueling chapter for a physician in training…long days with hours of intense study and research fueled by a commitment to a life of service. Samantha Mauser and Stephen Jennings are two medical students who share a passion for medicine and for running.
They enjoy running together to relieve the stress of medical school and this past Fall, they ran in the New York City Marathon to raise money for the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation, combining their talents with their devotion to helping others.
Each week, we highlight the Real Champions in your life! Your family, friends, or colleagues who go the extra mile to help others in their community.
