  PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE TO TOBACCO USE IN INDIANA
  
  Indiana has recently begun to work with large healthcare systems to integrate referrals to the state quitline into electronic medical records systems. People are more likely to quit smoking successfully if they have access to FDA-approved cessation medications and counseling, such as state quitlines. State quitlines allow smokers to call and receive free counseling to help them quit. As part of these efforts, the state continues to provide ongoing technical assistance to hospital staff to ensure that the proper steps are taken prior to referral. Working directly with hospital staff allows the state to improve outcomes and increase the acceptance rate of referrals to the quitline.
