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 (Guidelines). One of the requirements of the Guidelines is the establishment of a tobacco control coalition to obtain public input and support for local tobacco control efforts.
The County's Public Health Division provides smoking cessation support and conducts media campaigns to increase communication and engagement with community members on tobacco control issues.
