body
BACKGROUND
California voters previously approved tax increases on the sales of cigarettes and other tobacco products, including electronic smoking devices. A portion of these additional tax revenues are directed towards reducing smoking and tobacco use among all Californians via tobacco prevention and control programs. These funds are distributed by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) through its California Tobacco Prevention Program (CTPP).
CDPH is responsible for supporting a statewide tobacco control program and provides funding for 61 Local Lead Agencies (LLA), including Napa County. In order to receive these funds, counties must comply with the CTPP’s Comprehensive Tobacco Control Plan Guidelines.
HHSA’s Public Health Division promotes smoking cessation services and conducts educational campaigns to increase communication and engagement with community members on tobacco issues. Additionally, CDPH requires that each local health jurisdiction implement evaluation activities through an independent evaluator. This evaluation piece is contracted out to measure the impact of the County's Tobacco Control Program efforts.
The final contract is on file with the Clerk of the Board. Copies will be made available for review upon request, submitted in person, or by email to clerkoftheboard@napacounty.gov
Requested action:
Approve and authorize Revenue Agreement No. 270188B with the California Department of Public Health for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 for a maximum of $300,000 to fund the California Tobacco Prevention Program.
