This webinar was presented in partnership with the National Network for Oral Health Access. Tobacco, marijuana and vaping have long-term effects on health, including oral health. Tobacco use is an ongoing challenge for patients who live in public housing. With emerging issues like marijuana and e-cigarettes, health centers who serve patients in public housing need to learn how to address these issues to improve health outcomes. This webinar reviewed data of tobacco use in public housing and the oral health effects of tobacco use. During the presentation, Zufall Health Center discussed their programs to reduce smoking and vaping within their patient population.
