Get our new, expanded FREE Essential Tobacco Treatment Toolkit!

Access free provider and patient tools to help elevate your tobacco treatment practice!

The Duke-UNC Tobacco Treatment Specialist Training Program is excited to announce the expansion of our free Essential Tobacco Treatment Toolkit—a comprehensive resource designed to improve access to evidence-based tobacco and nicotine dependence treatment. The updated toolkit now includes an even wider range of materials created to support both clinicians and individuals who want to quit tobacco. With separate sections tailored to providers and patients, the toolkit makes it easier than ever for healthcare teams and the people they serve to work together toward successful quitting.

For healthcare providers, the expanded toolkit offers practical, clinically-grounded tools that streamline assessment, counseling, and treatment planning. New and updated resources include Tobacco Use Assessment and Diagnostic Tools, a 3As Brief Intervention Guide, a Medical Decision-Making Guide, and a detailed Billing and Coding Guide to support reimbursement. Providers will also find resources to address e-cigarette use, such as Determining Nicotine Content of E-Cigarettes and How to Talk About E-Cigarettes.

For patients, the toolkit delivers clear, supportive, and empowering materials that can be used independently or in partnership with a clinician. Individuals hoping to quit will find practical tools like a Tobacco Use Log, a Decisional Balance Worksheet, tips on How to Prepare for a Quit Day, and strategies for Managing Smoking Triggers. Additional resources—such as Mindful Smoking, Trauma and Nicotine Use, and How the Body Responds to Nicotine—help people better understand their relationship with tobacco and build the skills needed for long-term success in quitting.

Together, these expanded resources make tobacco-dependence treatment more accessible, collaborative, and effective. Whether you are a healthcare professional seeking evidence-based guidance or someone preparing to take the next step toward quitting, the Essential Tobacco Treatment Toolkit is here to support you every step of the way. Explore the new materials today and join us in advancing a healthier, tobacco-free future.
