Our mission is to link professionals and providers to state tobacco initiatives, to provide evidence-based, effective resources and tools to local programs, to create and support an extensive, collaborative network of tobacco prevention and cessation professionals, and to provide a forum for sharing best practices throughout the state of Maryland.
MDQuit is a non-profit, state-funded organization. We cannot accept promotional links on our website and can only accept resource referrals from our collaborators and partners.
