A healthier Washington, where commercial tobacco-related inequities are non-existent and where all people in our communities, across generations, are free from nicotine addiction, disease and premature death caused by commercial tobacco.
To bring together diverse partners from a variety of sectors to build capacity, collaborate, increase understanding, support cessation, and develop policy, systems, and environmental changes aimed at eliminating inequities and the negative effects from commercial tobacco use, sales and marketing.
Our collaborative groups focus on key challenges in reducing commercial tobacco use and nicotine dependence, with an emphasis on supporting equitable policies and programs.
Our members and partners develop statements and fact sheets that recommend effective policy solutions to improve health equity and community health.
