      abstract = {To reduce surgical complications related to smoking, some  Veteran Affairs (VA) medical centers have implemented  requirements that patients quit smoking prior to elective  surgery. Rural-residing Veterans are more likely to be  affected by this requirement as they are more likely to  smoke, less likely to quit, and experience challenges  accessing specialty care. The incentive of a desired  surgery could be an opportune time (“teachable moment”)  to assist patients in quitting smoking. Our study examined  experiences and perceptions related to this cessation  requirement to inform development of a peri-operative  smoking cessation intervention.},
