Smoking Cessation Leadership Center

The Smoking Cessation Leadership Center (SCLC) is a national program office based in the United States. It is a relatively small organization with 5 to 9 employees. The SCLC receives funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Truth Initiative to focus on improving smoking cessation rates through its work with behavioral health professionals. The SCLC focuses on providing free technical assistance and resources to health professionals and other organizations working to help smokers quit. Their goal is to increase the number of health professionals who can effectively counsel patients on quitting smoking and to increase the overall success rate of smoking cessation programs. The SCLC plays a vital role in addressing the significant challenge of smoking cessation by providing the tools and support necessary to help smokers successfully quit. They achieve this through partnerships with diverse groups and institutions, collaborating on the development and implementation of comprehensive tobacco treatment and prevention strategies.
