Dr. Andrew Martin, Somerset Medical Center: I’m Dr. Andrew Martin, and I know that prescribing disease prevention advice is as important as prescribing medication. As doctors, we have all seen the impact of smoking on our patients’ health. Most smokers want to quit, but need our help to succeed.

The New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services’ 2A’s plus R Program provides physicians with a quick, effective way to help them turn their advice into action. As physicians, we can simply ask patients if they smoke, advise them to quit and refer them to New Jersey’s free or low-cost quit services – NJ QuitNet, NJ Quitline and NJ Quitcenters.

These services are based on widely accepted guidelines for smoking cessation programs. You can be assured that your patients are getting help from a source you can trust. To get referral forms and more information, go to njquit2win.com.

With the 2 A’s plus R prescription, we can help thousands of New Jersey smokers improve their health.
