The North Carolina Tobacco Prevention and Control Branch works to improve the health of North Carolina residents by promoting smoke-free environments and tobacco-free lifestyles. Our goal is to build capacity of diverse organizations and communities to implement and carry out effective, culturally appropriate strategies to reduce deaths and health problems due to tobacco use and secondhand smoke. |
The Tobacco Prevention and Control Branch works in these four goal areas:
- Prevent the initiation of tobacco use among young people
- Eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke
- Promote quitting tobacco among adults and youth
- Identify and eliminate tobacco-related health disparities among populations
