Description:This user guide focuses on how comprehensive tobacco control programs can work to achieve health equity
in tobacco prevention and control. Best Practices recommends that “Identifying and eliminating tobacco- related disparities among population groups” be a primary goal of every state tobacco control program, along with preventing initiation among youth and young adults, promoting quitting among adults and youth, and eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke.1 To further reduce overall tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure, tobacco use must be reduced in population groups with the greatest burden of tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure. Because tobacco control policies take a population- based approach to improving health, policies have the potential to reach groups most affected by tobacco and reduce disparities. This guide offers tobacco control program staff and partners information on how to
work toward achieving health equity when planning, implementing, and enforcing tobacco control policies.
