For Tobacco Control Programs

In communities across Massachusetts, people are making a difference in the fight against tobacco. Youth educate peers about the realities of tobacco use, health care providers help pregnant women stop smoking, and health board directors make sure kids can't buy cigarettes.

These and other local efforts have made it possible for Massachusetts to lower its smoking rates, keep cigarettes out of the hands of kids, and ensure smoke-free workplaces as a right for every worker.
