Nicotine Dependence Center

The Mayo Clinic Nicotine Dependence Center (NDC) was one of the first programs in the country to focus exclusively on treating patients dependent on tobacco. Since 1988, the NDC has helped almost 50,000 people using the most up-to-date treatment approaches for outpatients, individuals who are hospitalized and those who participate in the eight-day residential program.

Global Bridges is a science-based initiative to create and mobilize a global network of healthcare professionals and organizations dedicated to advancing effective tobacco dependence treatment and advocating for effective tobacco control policy.
