About This Partner/Organization
The Orange County Health Care Agency Tobacco Use Prevention Program (TUPP)
serves a jurisdiction comprised of over 3 million residents in 34 cities, as well as
unincorporated areas. According to data from the California Health Interview Survey
(CHIS), Orange County’s adult smoking prevalence was 10.8% over 2014-15, which was
lower than both the statewide (12.4%) and national (17.5%) rates. Since 2011, the adult
smoking prevalence rates have decreased by approximately 16%, down from 12.9% to
current levels (CHIS, 2015). Despite such favorable tobacco control conditions, Orange
County has experienced significant disparities.
