    Title:
    Four Ways to Help Smokers Now
    Content:

    Tobacco is the #1 cause of disability and death and most smokers DO want to quit. The good news is that counseling and medication can more than double the chance that a smoker who tries to quit will succeed.


    How you can help:

    1. Refer tobacco users toYes! I'm Ready to Quit so they may develop a Quit Plan.
    2. Put up a poster or share a flyer about World No Tobacco Day 2011. 
    3. Learn tobacco cessation strategies and earn 1.5 hours of FREE CNE with Nursewise: Tobacco Cessation.
    4. Download AvidNurse for your iPhone, iTouch, or iPad to utilize evidence-based tobacco cessation guidelines and pharmacotherapy details at the point-of-care.

    Together, we can educate patients and friends on the dangers of tobacco use and help them kick the habit!
