Tobacco & Nicotine Dependence Toolkit

We want to help you and your employees achieve your best health. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, tobacco dependence is our nation’s No. 1 preventable health problem. We have gathered tobacco-related resources in this toolkit for you. You can share it with your employees if tobacco and nicotine dependence is an issue in your workplace.
