Maine providers represent a crucial step in tobacco prevention and treatment. Dentists, Physicians, health care workers, and representatives of non-profit service organizations who interact with patients and clients are able to provide guidance, resources, and treatment options that could help them end their dependence on tobacco. Providers are agents for assessment, education, counsel, and treatment and can guide tobacco users toward support and self-management. – Taken from https://www.tobaccofreemaine.org
