Integrate Tobacco Treatment & Go Tobacco-Free
If your organization would like to integrate tobacco treatment into your services or consider adopting a tobacco-free grounds policy, we can support you in that process. Staff from partner organizations that have gone tobacco-free have created a comprehensive Tips from the Field implementation guide, and are happy to talk with you about how their organizations successfully integrated tobacco treatment services and adopted tobacco-free grounds policies.
