A— B— BMJ: Tobacco Control Journal Archive Tobacco Control aims to study the nature and consequences of tobacco use worldwide; tobacco’s effects on population health, the economy, the environment, and society; efforts to prevent and control the global tobacco epidemic through population level education and policy changes; the ethical dimensions of tobacco control policies; and the activities of the tobacco industry and its allies. C— California Tobacco Control Program (CTCP) The Mission of the California Tobacco Control Program (CTCP) is to improve the health of all Californians by reducing illness and premature death attributable to the use of tobacco products. Through leadership, experience and research, CTCP empowers statewide and local health agencies to promote health and quality of life by advocating social norms that create a tobacco-free environment.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Office on Smoking and Health (OSH), is the lead federal agency for comprehensive tobacco prevention and control. OSH is a division within the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, which is located within CDC’s Coordinating Center for Health Promotion. Originally established in 1965 as the National Clearinghouse for Smoking and Health, OSH is dedicated to reducing the death and disease caused by tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke.

The Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education The Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education provides a focal point for work designed to reduce the 5 million deaths a year tobacco and the tobacco industry cause each year. The work of the Center spans policy and historical research, economics, and science. The work is designed to inform and improve the effectiveness of public health interventions to reduce tobacco use. UCSF's Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education acts as a focal point for tobacco research, education, cessation, and training at the University of California. D— E— Environmental Protection Agency: Smoke-free Homes and Cars Program EPA is the only federal agency principally dedicated to conducting broad public education and outreach programs to reduce the public health risks from indoor air quality problems. Whereas other federal agencies play important roles in indoor air quality research, and indoor air quality in public housing and federal buildings, EPA is responsible for analyzing relevant research and communicating indoor air quality risks and risk-reducing actions to the public. EPA has developed a number of free resources, including the Smoke-free Homes Community Action Kit, Planning Guide for Pledge Events , and Local Programs Promoting Smoke-free Homes Booklets, that are designed to help you start a local smoke-free homes program and educate the public about the health risks associated with exposure to ETS. We have also provided a variety of free publications with Smoke-free Homes messages for you to distribute at your events. Visit the Publications and Materials page to learn more about ordering these materials at no cost.

New York State Department of Health Tobacco Control Program (NYTCP) The New York State Department of Health Tobacco Control Program (NYTCP) implements evidence-based and promising strategies to prevent and reduce tobacco use. The NYTCP envisions a tobacco-free society for all New Yorkers. The program began in January 2000, and is built on a foundation of community partners using evidence-based strategies from the Guide to Community Preventive Services to decrease tobacco use. O— Prevention Partners NC Prevention Partners (NCPP) is a statewide nonprofit and leader in reducing preventable illness and early death caused by tobacco use, poor nutrition and physical inactivity. Q— QuiTIP Database The Quitting and Reducing Tobacco Use Inventory of Products (QuiTIP) is a database of products that are being sold to consumers, in the United States and internationally, for the purpose of reducing or stopping their consumption of tobacco. While the database contains a large number of products, it is not an exhaustive inventory of every product or system being sold to help people quit using tobacco. R— Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ) Foundation RWJ has worked successfully for more than a decade to help reduce the prevalence of tobacco use—funding research to learn which policies and programs are most effective, as well as focusing public attention and fostering action on policies aimed at preventing people from starting to smoke and helping current smokers quit. While progress has been made, more needs to be done. Their current efforts concentrate on strengthening and expanding policy changes that have been shown to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use, including higher tobacco prices, comprehensive clean indoor air policies and the coverage and use of treatments to help tobacco users stop smoking. S— Smokefree.gov Smokfree.gov is one-stop shopping at its best. It draws from a universe of resources, all targeted to help you, or someone you care about, quit smoking. The Web site was created by the Tobacco Control Research Branch of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Some of the resources show how much money you can save by quitting. Others help smokers discover a long list of reasons to quit and become more aware of what triggers their urge to smoke. It provides information on the benefits of quitting, medication to help you quit, secondhand smoke, stress and symptoms of withdrawal. All of it is important to those trying to give up the use of tobacco. The Smoking Cessation Leadership Center (SCLC) The Smoking Cessation Leadership Center (SCLC) is a national program office of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Significant support is also provided by the American Legacy Foundation. SCLC aims to increase smoking cessation rates and increase the number of health professionals who help smokers quit. The Center creates partnerships for results with a variety of groups and institutions to develop and implement action plans around smoking cessation. Partnerships with dental hygienists, nurses, pharmacists, emergency physicians, hospitals, labor unions, family physicians, the Veterans Health Administration and myriad other groups all lead toward the same goal: saving lives by increasing cessation rates and cessation interventions. Social Climate Survey of Tobacco Control (SCS-TC) The Social Climate Survey of Tobacco Control (SCS-TC) was developed as a methodology to objectively measure the fundamental position of tobacco control in society and thereby provide a data collection system to monitor program impacts. The survey includes items to measure progress toward intermediate objectives such as policy changes, changes in social norms, reductions in exposure of individuals to environmental tobacco smoke, and rejection of pro-tobacco influences. T— The Tobacco Atlas The Tobacco Atlas, the comprehensive volume of research, published by the American Cancer Society, and its accompanying website, graphically display how tobacco is devastating both global health and economies. Full-color maps and graphics illustrate in a clear and accessible format the wide range of tobacco issues, revealing similarities and differences between countries, and exposing the behavior of the tobacco companies. It also examines solutions and predicts the future course of the global tobacco pandemic. Tobacco Control Legal Consortium The Tobacco Control Legal Consortium is a national network supporting tobacco control policy change by giving advocates better access to legal expertise. The Consortium’s priorities are to help make legal technical assistance an integral part of comprehensive tobacco control programs, provide a limited degree of direct legal support and raise awareness of the role of legal services in effective policy change. Within its resources, the Consortium works to assist communities with urgent legal needs and to increase the legal resources available to the tobacco control movement. Tobacco Control Monograph Series: public health issues in smoking and tobacco use control The National Cancer Institute established the Tobacco Control Monograph series (formerly called the Smoking and Tobacco Control Monograph series) in 1991 to provide ongoing and timely information about emerging public health issues in smoking and tobacco use control. The series reduces the time between availability of information from research projects and the publication and wide dissemination of this information, and enhances the rapidity with which NCI can use findings from research trials to reduce cancer morbidity and mortality. Tobacco Technical Assistance Consortium The Tobacco Technical Assistance Consortium (TTAC) is dedicated to assisting organizations in building and developing highly effective tobacco control programs. Trinkets and Trash Trinkets and Trash (T&T) acts as a surveillance system that monitors, collects, and documents tobacco products and current tobacco industry marketing tactics, such as: direct mail, bar/party promotions, magazine advertisements, in-store promotions, and new product development. As items are acquired by the collection, they are each catalogued and photographed or scanned, and the resulting images are uploaded to the website with accompanying descriptive information.
