Intro:

The Department of Health is working in collaboration with community partners to educate and promote available tobacco cessation services and resources to better support those in their communities who are tackling nicotine addiction. There are more than 36 hospital and community-based tobacco cessation service providers that offer tobacco treatment programs across the state.

The department has developed a list of "Cessation Resources in Hawai'i" for the public, and a "Cessation Service Providers Referral Guide" for providers. The Referral Guide assists those who are interested in either using or referring a patient/client to tobacco cessation services. These guides/resources are also available on the Hawai'i State DOH website at www.hawaii.gov/health under "brochures".
