Education

When you see patients, take these 3 easy steps to help them become tobacco free. It takes less than 3 minutes to
  • Ask every patient at each encounter about his or her tobacco use and document their status.
  • Advise every tobacco user to quit. Use a clear, strong, and personalized message about the benefits of quitting.
  • Connect patients who want to change their tobacco use to the Quitline. We work with patients at any step of their quit journey. When providers make the connection, patients are 3-11 times more likely to enroll in the program.

With a 37 percent responder quit rate for those who use coaching and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and a 90 percent participant satisfaction rate, we are confident in our ability to help your patients live tobacco free.
