This Is What We Use

[Scott Crespy]

The success of the smoking cessation collaborative rests solely on the generous spirit of the individuals who participate and their willingness to share best practice examples and materials with peers. On this board, we encourage you to share with others the smoking cessation materials that you use and would recommend to others.

Please post information directly to this message board or contact me at (516) 326-7767,ext. 252 for assistance. If you are reading this message, please consider sharing your materials with us today! Thank you very much in advance for your generosity. I am sure this information will be extremely helpful to many hospitals across the state!
