Vermont Tobacco Control Program FY18 Annual Review

Vermont has achieved measurable progress in reducing smoking rates in the state, particularly among youth. However, despite progress in reducing smoking in Vermont, inequities and disparities in tobacco use and burden persist.

Guided by the Health Department's framework for health equity, the Tobacco Control Program works to implement programs that support fair and just opportunities for health, aiming to better serve all Vermonters. The Program invested FY18 resources to address the tobacco burden among priority populations. This annual review brief provides highlights from the program and work conducted during July 2017 – June 2018. JSI. 2019.
