Resource! |
| A
new guide has been developed! "The TRUTH Network:
Treating Tobacco Dependence" explains the 5
A's of tobacco control, available pharmacologic therapies,
statewide cessation programs and fax referral to the Utah
Tobacco Quit Line. The 5 A's reminder card and the Public
Health Service Guideline summary are also included. Two
new pamphlets to share with patients accompany the guide,
one for orienting patients to the Quit Line (when they
fill out a fax referral form) and another to motivate
patients who are not ready to quit. Please click below
