The Collaborative is a community of practice and learning that is dedicated to working strategically at the state level to support clinicians and the health care systems in which they work to address tobacco use consistently and effectively.  

Collaborative members volunteered to work on four major agenda items: marketing tobacco interventions to clinicians, enhancing clincian education around tobacco treatment, influencing the Healthy People 2020 document to include tobacco indicators and lastly working to get insurance coverage and clician reimbursement for tobacco treatment
