Mission Statement

The Center for Tobacco Prevention and Control works with community partners, state agencies, healthcare entities, resource centers, and local health departments to implement proven strategies to protect Maryland residents from tobacco-related death and disease.

Description

The overall goals for the Center are to:

  • Prevent youth and young adults from ever using tobacco products
  • Provide resources to assist residents who are ready to quit using tobacco
  • Eliminate exposure to harmful toxins found in secondhand smoke
  • Identify and eliminate health disparities among population groups disproportionately affected by tobacco-related death and disease.

Maryland has made great strides in reducing tobacco use and its harmful effects.

  • Rates of tobacco use among Maryland adults and youth have decreased since 2000.
  • Exposure to secondhand smoke has declined due to state and local laws prohibiting smoking inside public places (restaurants, bars, workplaces, transit)
  • The number of Maryland residents who have never smoked has increased.
