Fax-to-Quit Louisiana Program

Healthcare providers in Louisiana recognize the need to treat patients who use tobacco. They realize that a brief intervention provided in the clinical setting is an effective strategy for helping patients quit tobacco use.

Our Fax-to-Quit Louisiana program follows the recommendations of the U.S. Public Health Service Clinical Practice Guideline: Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence which recommends brief counseling in a clinical setting.  When medication is used with counseling, successful quitting is four times more likely.

Fax-to-Quit Louisiana uses the Louisiana Tobacco Quitline to help clinicians provide the counseling component recommended in the guideline easily and seamlessly.

For more information on the Fax-to-Quit Louisiana program, please contact Tiffany Netters via email or by calling 225-342-2664.

Additional guidelines on treating tobacco use can also be found at the Surgeon General's website.
