The House Calls Program: A Tobacco Use Treatment Program for Pregnant and Parenting Women is a collaboration between smoking cessation services and an established Ingham County Health Department home visitation program utilizing public health nurses and public health advocates. By bringing tobacco cessation services to women and their families in their homes, House Calls staff are able to mediate or eliminate many of the barriers to tobacco use cessation.
