The program is designed to help Marines and their families quit tobacco. OTFM incorporates the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Best Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco Control and evidence-based recommendations from the Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Tobacco Use and Dependence published by the U.S. Public Health Service. Topics covered in the curriculum include the health consequences of tobacco, barriers to quitting, familiarization with nicotine replacement therapy and other medications, creating a quit plan and accessing support resources. The program launched in 2017 and we offer 1:1 counseling sessions by appointment.
