In March 2021, MaineHealth’s Center for Tobacco Independence (CTI) enlisted Hart Consulting’s services to understand more about tobacco use among Maine’s veterans. The discovery project included three components: focus groups with veterans, key informant interviews with veteran service organizations, and a web scan of state and federal resources for veterans on tobacco use. This presentation will share the findings from the project including Maine veterans’ experiences with tobacco use, interest in stopping the use of tobacco, membership support for not allowing smoking in veteran social clubs, and advice on best ways to connect with veterans.
