Tehama County (Tehama County Tobacco Education Program)
About This Partner/Organization
The purpose of the 2017-2021 Tehama County Health Services Agency Tobacco Control
Program plan is to improve the health of the residents of the county by implementing
measures aimed at reducing secondhand smoke as well as secondhand aerosol exposure
derived from the use of electronic nicotine delivery devices (ENDD) in multi-unit housing
complexes. We are also committed to reducing chronic disease and premature death
attributable to tobacco product use through motivating changes in the retail environment
that reduce the availability of flavored tobacco products. Lastly, we resolve to build
advocacy for addressing the social determinants of health, which disproportionately affect
the health of priority populations and increase the human and economic burden of chronic
disease.
