Smoking Cessation with Vets and PTSD

I just found an article from the VA on smoking cessation. They found higher quit rates when they addressed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms concurrent with traditional smoking cessation. Yeah!!! This is what I'm talking about. The core treatment for PTSD is reducing reactive irritability, stress management, anti-anxiety / anti-depression medication etc. Treatment is not short lived and is best done intensively, over a period of time.

This is a start.
