CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health – New Webpage.
“Promising Policies and Practices To Address Tobacco Use By Persons with Mental And Substance Use Disorders.”
https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/disparities/promising-policies-and-practices/index.html

CDC OSH designed a new webpage to complement the May 2018 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on tobacco-related policies and practices in behavioral health treatment facilities (Marynak K, VanFrank B, Tetlow S, et al. Tobacco Cessation Interventions and Smoke-Free Policies in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Treatment Facilities—United States, 2016. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, 67(18):519—523, 2018). The new webpage highlights strategies to address tobacco use in behavioral health treatment settings used by some states.
