The Florida Tobacco Strategic Plan’s goals, objectives, and strategies were developed to align with national guidelines and recommendations and to lead to long-term policy, systems, and environmental change. It reflects a commitment to become a healthier, tobacco free state through joint efforts in six priority areas.
This priority area focuses on eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke and electronic vapor product aerosol. Tobacco prevention and control partners will collaborate with housing entities, employers, and local jurisdictions by expanding protections from secondhand smoke and electronic vapor product aerosol exposure using comprehensive tobacco free policies.
This priority area focuses on eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke and EVP aerosol. Over the course of this Plan, partners will collaborate with housing entities, employers, and local jurisdictions to decrease the rates of adults and youth reporting such exposure through the development and dissemination of educational materials and implementation of tobacco free policies.
This priority area focuses on eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke and electronic vapor product aerosol. Tobacco prevention and control partners will collaborate with housing entities, employers, and local jurisdictions by expanding protections from secondhand smoke and electronic vapor product aerosol exposure using comprehensive tobacco free policies.
This priority area focuses on identifying and eliminating tobacco-related disparities to decrease the prevalence of combustible tobacco and electronic vapor product use among populations burdened by tobacco. Tobacco prevention and control partners across that state will collaborate with communities and local leaders to build support for tobacco prevention and control strategies through the development of media campaigns and educational materials, capacity building, and the implementation of tobacco free policies.
This priority area focuses on establishing a statewide tobacco control leadership framework that will be used to identify, implement, and coordinate tobacco prevention and control activities across the state. Tobacco prevention and control partners will collaborate to build a statewide tobacco control coalition consisting of national, state, and local tobacco control advocates.
This priority area focuses on identifying emerging tobacco products and industry tactics through new and existing surveillance and monitoring systems. Additionally, this includes identifying evidence-based and promising practices for tobacco prevention and control through research partnerships. Tobacco prevention and control partners across that state will develop new research partnerships with state, local, and academic communities to share research and to promote innovations in tobacco surveillance, programs, treatments, and policies.
