The Mass General Tobacco Treatment Service is a multi-disciplinary team of health professionals who specialize in helping smokers become nonsmokers. We offer low-cost, state-of-the-art tobacco treatment services to all Mass patients, employees, and other members of the community.
Dr. Nancy Rigotti founded the Mass General Tobacco Research and Treatment Center (TRTC) in 1992. The center integrates a clinical service providing state-of-the-art smoking-cessation treatment to the hospital and surrounding community with a multidisciplinary research group that develops and tests smoking treatment interventions for health care settings and evaluates tobacco-control public policies.
The Tobacco Treatment Service (TTS) is one aspect of the TRTC that offers services to both smokers and clinicians focusing on education, counseling, and helping to create a more comfortable environment both in and out of the hospital.
Services offered to smokers:
- Group counseling programs with the option of low cost nicotine replacement therapy (patch & gum)
- Monitoring of other tobacco treatment medications
- Bedside counseling for patients hospitalized at Mass General
Services offered to physicians and other clinicians:
- Consultation and technical expertise to help individual clinicians and medical practices address tobacco use with their patients
