In the video, Leah discusses the implications of smoking among veterans and its potential impact on VA disability benefits.

Leah emphasizes that for veterans to qualify for compensation for smoking-related health issues, they must demonstrate a connection between their condition and military service. She also outlines the resources available for quitting smoking and the significant health risks associated with tobacco use, encouraging veterans to seek help and use available support systems like the VA's smoking cessation resources.
