PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE TO TOBACCO USE IN TENNESSEE

The Tennessee Governor’s office proclaimed February 22 - 26, 2016, as “2016 Tennessee Quit” to focus multisector efforts on promoting quitting tobacco use in the state. In response, the state health department partnered with rural and metro health departments across the state to identify and engage community partners to promote tobacco cessation. The state also utilized media campaigns, which occurred on radio, television, and social media, to promote quitting during this period. Calls to the state’s quitline nearly tripled for the month of February and were the highest number of calls to date for the quitline. Due to the success of the campaign and the engagement of community partners, the state has developed a statewide Tobacco Coalition and will hold a similar themed “Quit Week” annually.
