Michigan Providers Tobacco Cessation Tool Kit

It is our goal to support everyone who wants to quit tobacco use. The MCC would like to partner with other chronic disease programs that are affected by tobacco use so that we can have the greatest impact for improving the health of our citizens in the state of Michigan!

Research has repeatedly shown that one of the strongest influences on a person's decision to quit smoking is the recommendation made by a trusted health care provider.

Staff from the Michigan Department of Community Health Cancer Prevention and Control and Tobacco Sections, the Michigan Public Health Institute, and the MCC developed this tool kit as part of a collaborative effort to support health care providers. The tool kit includes links to radio interviews with medical experts, patient resources, and resources for providers.

Radio Interviews with Medical Experts
During 2006, Tobacco-Free Michigan sponsored weekly morning radio talk show discussions (Mondays @ 6:40 to 6:50 a.m.) that featured local and national medical experts talking about tobacco and health. As a service to our visitors, the interviews, which were broadcast on radio stations throughout the state of Michigan, are available on our Web site as MP3 sound files.

View the list of expert discussions and download the ones of your choice (resources updated 08/17/09)
