Program Information

Sutter County Tobacco Education & Prevention Program

Sutter County Tobacco Control is a program of chronic disease and health disparities that works to increase awareness of the health risks of tobacco use. Sutter County Tobacco Control also works to counter pro-tobacco influences, reduce tobacco sales to youth under 18, refer smokers to cessation programs and assist communities to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke.

Sutter County Tobacco Control Program offers free quit-kits and educational materials to the community. The Tobacco Control staff conduct presentations in the community, participates in community events, provide merchant education trainings and in-store visits, and provides technical assistance to local business that wish to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke through policy implementation.

The Tobacco Control Program fosters and involves a community coalition, the Substance Abuse Steering Coalition (SASC), to engage in grassroots community mobilization activities that promote social norm changes and educate the public about health issues related to tobacco use and tobacco industry strategies that promote tobacco use.
