<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">A comprehensive statewide tobacco prevention and education program, such as that in Oregon, is a coordinated effort to establish comprehensive smoke-free policies and social
norms, promote and help tobacco users to quit, and prevent non-users from starting. Evidence-based, statewide tobacco control programs that are comprehensive, sustained, and accountable reduce smoking rates and tobacco-related deaths and diseases.

these evidence-based tobacco control interventions continue to be underutilized. As Acting Surgeon General Boris Lushniak said in releasing this latest Surgeon General’s Report, “Enough is enough!” For more information from the Surgeon General, please visit
