This is the first in a two-part series on State QuitLines and will inform oral health professionals on how to leverage their tobacco/vaping cessation services. The American Dental Association Council on Advocacy for Access and Prevention presents this course to provide information on state QuitLines as a referral resource for oral health professionals who want to help their patients quit tobacco.
