Overview 

Health care providers are in the unique position to play a powerful role in preventing tobacco use.

The UW Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention (UW-CTRI) is an excellent online source for up-to-date information and research regarding effective tobacco cessation. They offer a free, evidence-based system that you can incorporate into your health care setting based on the Clinical Practice Guideline: Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence. Visit their website to learn more!

If you would like to get involved with tobacco control in your community contact your local coalition.
