PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE TO TOBACCO USE IN NORTH CAROLINA

People are more likely to quit smoking successfully if they have access to FDA-approved cessation medications and counseling. North Carolina continues to look for opportunities to increase demand for quitting by providing tools to help smokers quit. For example, the state’s health foundation signed service agreements with the Appalachian Health District and the Caldwell County Health Department to provide eight weeks of nicotine replacement therapy to residents of these areas. The state continues to increase the number of partnerships to expand capacity of the quitline. Also, the state has worked with partners from Duke Cancer Center and the University of North Carolina School of Medicine’s Nicotine Dependence Center to create a Certified Tobacco Treatment Specialist Training for licensed clinic staff.
