Comprehensive Smoking Cessation Education for the Colorado Pharmacist & Pharmacist Technician

The Colorado State Board of Pharmacy Approved “Statewide Protocol for Dispensing Tobacco Cessation Products” was approved and in effect as of March 2017. The Protocol was a direct result of Colorado Senate Bill 16-135, which created the infrastructure for the Colorado Boards of Pharmacy, Medicine, and Nursing to work collaboratively with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to create statewide protocols to address public health needs. The smoking cessation protocol was one of two such statewide protocols that were initially approved in Colorado. Colorado is amongst a small handful of states that offer similar smoking cessation services, but our protocol is indeed one of the most comprehensive.
