ActionToQuit Releases New Tobacco Cessation Guide for the Armed Forces

Partnership for Prevention's ActionToQuit initiative released a new guide, Help Your Patients Quit Tobacco Use: An Implementation Guide for the Armed Forces. The guide makes the case that tobacco cessation treatment should be a standard of care at every patient encounter and it lays out steps for treatment facilities to integrate tobacco cessation services into clinical practice. In addition, it spotlights military treatment facilities and health promotion and wellness centers across the United States for their exceptional commitment to assisting service members, veterans, and their families to break-free from tobacco addiction. This resource can be used as a practical tool to supplement the VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guideline on Management of Tobacco Use (2008).
