Regulations, Guidelines and Literature
Effective tobacco cessation treatments are available, including group, individual, and telephone counseling and FDA-approved cessation medications. However, less than one third of cigarette smokers use these treatments when trying to quit. Physician cessation interventions increase patient quit rates, but many physicians to not routinely intervene with their patients who use tobacco products. Population-based strategies that increase cessation include, but are not limited to, reducing out-of-pocket costs for evidence-based tobacco cessation treatments (i.e., ensuring that health insurance plans cover these treatments), provider reminder systems in health care settings (including reminders embedded in electronic health records) that prompt health care providers to screen for tobacco use and provide cessation advice, telephone quitlines, and mobile-phone based cessation texting interventions. CDC recommends that state tobacco control programs implement these effective population-based strategies for increasing cessation and put in place a comprehensive plan to address cessation. The Office on Smoking and Health has worked with several national organizations in providing information to state tobacco control programs and national and state partners on OSH's three major cessation priorities: enhancing state quitline capacity and sustainability, promoting comprehensive coverage of evidence-based tobacco cessation treatments in health insurance plans, and promoting health systems changes that improve the rates of tobacco use screening and cessation intervention in health care settings. CDC recommendations regarding cessation activities to be implemented by state tobacco control programs are described in greater depth in CDC's Best Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs - 2014 (see http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/stateandcommunity/best_practices/pdfs/2014/sectionA-III.pdf ).
