Strategies

Make clinician, hospital, clinic, long-term care facility, and insurance plan performance on health care quality measures publicly available via report cards, reporting websites, or similar tools

Teach students personal and social skills to avoid tobacco use; led by teachers, health educators, or students in elementary schools, middle schools, or high schools

Implement private sector rules or public sector regulations that prohibit smoking outdoors or restrict it to designated areas

Limit promotion, placement, flavoring, or pricing of tobacco products via regulation

Increase compensation provided to unemployed workers looking for jobs by expanding eligibility, amount, or duration of benefits

Use the purchasing power of employers and groups of insured individuals to create incentives and disincentives for health care providers to deliver high quality, high value care
