Dr. Nancy Rigotti founded the Massachusetts General Hospital 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:

  • 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
