What steps have been taken to reduce tobacco's harm in Minnesota since the 1964 Surgeon General's report on smoking?
There is not yet a body of evidence on the effects of using or being around e-cigarettes, and they are sold in candy and fruit flavors that appeal to kids.
Minnesotans are protected from the poisons of secondhand smoke in bars and restaurants. But some of our most vulnerable individuals are still exposed in other places.
The ad from QUITPLAN Services shows the serious health effects of smoking. It uses graphic imagery to grab the attention of smokers and educate everyone that even occasional smoking has serious consequences.
Our new campaign, which includes three TV ads, bus sides, billboards and an interactive website (stillaproblem.com), details how tobacco is still a big problem in Minnesota for our youth, our economy and our health.
We provide people with free counseling and medications to quit tobacco. Getting help leads to successful quitting, and we provide the best possible treatment to Minnesota smokers. More than 100,000 Minnesotans have gotten quitting help from QUITPLAN Services.
The Leadership and Advocacy Institute to Advance Parity for Minnesota’s Priority Populations (LAAMPP) builds capacity for effective tobacco control among members of diverse communities. LAAMPP Fellows explore tobacco prevention ideas and share knowledge with their communities.
