<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="color:black">New Oregon Tobacco Quit Line Fax Referral Forms</span></u></b><u><span style="color:black">:</span></u><span style="color:black"> The Oregon Tobacco Quit Line fax referral forms, used by health care professionals
to refer patients to the Quit Line, have been updated. Forms include English, Spanish, and verbal consent versions in MS Word and as PDFs with the verbal consent form also available as a fillable PDF. Forms will be posted on SmokeFree Oregon and on the OHA
website soon. Changes include more prominent positioning of HIPAA confirmation and a "notes" area (for example, providers or pharmacists can indicate quit medications prescribed during the visit, dose, etc.). Please note that older forms are still acceptable
to initiate referrals. Please share with health care partners<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="color:black">Smokefree Oregon is on Instagram - your following requested!:</span></u></b><span style="color:black"> Over time, Facebook’s audience has shifted away from the diverse, active, and engaged audience that’s
key for supporting commercial tobacco-free environments and healthier retail spaces. With our Smokefree Oregon media contractor, the Metropolitan Group, we’re spending a few months to shift our primary social media platform to Instagram. We'll continue to
put out calendars that can be used across platforms since Facebook and Twitter are key for many local public health authorities. Please check out and follow us – it’s helpful as we build our audience on the new platform, especially as we plan our first-ever
social media influencer campaigns: <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/smokefree__oregon/">https://www.instagram.com/smokefree__oregon/</a></b> Contact Sarah Wylie with questions at

menthol flavoring in cigarettes and flavors in little cigars. This is a momentous step toward preventing tobacco addiction and death, particularly for communities and color and young people. Attached to this email are resources for talking points on commercial
tobacco and equity. Oregon Health Authority's statement on FDA's decision is available here:
