Paid Media Planning Webinar Series

As previously announced, the California Tobacco Control Program's (CTCP) regional in-person Paid Media Planning Trainings have been canceled. In their place, CTCP's Media Unit is hosting a two-part series of webinar trainings. The webinars will feature much of the same content as the trainings and build on the 2018 Paid Media Technical Assistance Sessions and Communications Plan Trainings to offer attendees a deeper look into best practices of paid media. All CTCP-funded partners are invited to attend. Please see below for dates and times:

The California Smokers' Helpline sent out 1,500 two-week nicotine patch starter kits to eligible smokers over the past month. Thank you for continuing to promote the Helpline and this offer in your community. Let's keep the momentum going to help people quit!
