Diabetes and Tobacco Cessation: "Do you cAARd?" Campaign

Diabetes Educators throughout California have joined forces with the California Diabetes Program and the California Smokers’ Helpline to assist their patients with diabetes quit smoking.   

“Do you cAARd?” challenges Diabetes Educators to use the Gold Card and share it with patients with diabetes who smoke or chew tobacco.  The gold card is a marketing piece that urges smokers to call the Helpline, 1-800-NO-BUTTS (1-800-662-8887).
