Coordinated care organizations, health care team
members, and community-based workers play important roles in helping people quit
smoking. This includes asking people about tobacco use; offering people
support and removing barriers to quitting tobacco; and creating and supporting
tobacco-free places in communities like school campuses, workplaces, or public
parks. For more information, see OHA's tobacco prevention resources.
