Tobacco Control

Tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States.  Our nation spends billions every year to treat tobacco related disease.  District Health Department No. 2 recognizes this problem and endeavors to reduce tobacco’s impact in the district.  The District employs a comprehensive tobacco and secondhand smoke prevention program that includes a combination of environmental and policy change techniques as well as community education to reduce tobacco’s burden on the area.
