<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif">The North American Quit Line Consortium (NAQC) recently released a new resource guide to provide information and easy-to-access resources to state health departments and their partners
who are interested in improving cessation coverage and utilization of the Quit Lines among employers in their states. This guide includes an overview of the types of employers and other groups who purchase health benefits for employees and outlines the key
processes that need to occur to successfully build cost-sharing partnerships with employers to improve cessation coverage and utilization of Quit Lines for treatment services.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
