  PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE TO TOBACCO USE IN VERMONT
  
  In Vermont, more low-income adults smoke cigarettes compared to the general population. In order to reach this population, the state began to send mailings to Medicaid users, which included two mailings to Medicaid clients with information on how to receive free counseling and medication through the state’s quitline. The state also used targeted media purchases during CDC’s Tips From Former Smokers Campaign™ (Tips)™, designed to better reach low-income smokers. Between 2013 and 2015, there was a 55% increase in quitline registrations among Vermont’s Medicaid population.
