This cooperative agreement program addresses tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure in the United States and supports four National Tobacco Control Program goals to (1) Prevent initiation of tobacco use among youth and young adults; (2) Eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke; (3) Promote quitting among adults and youth; and (4) Identify and eliminate tobacco related disparities. Achievement of these goals will reduce chronic disease morbidity, mortality, and disability related to tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure. This cooperative agreement program relates to Healthy People 2020 objectives in the topic area of Tobacco Use. In addition, this cooperative agreement program supports the Government Performance Results Modernization Act Long-term Objective 4.6: Reduce Death and Disability Due to Tobacco and the following measures: Tobacco Measure: 4.6 - Reduce death and disability due to tobacco use; 4.6.2 - Reduce per capita cigarette consumption in the U.S. per adult age 18+; 4.6.3 - Reduce the proportion of adults (age 18 and over) who are current cigarette smokers; 4.6.4 – Increase the proportion of the U.S. population covered by comprehensive state and/or local laws making workplaces, restaurants, and bars 100% smoke free (no smoking allowed, no exceptions); 4.6.5 - Reduce the proportion of adolescents (grade 9-12) who are current cigarette smokers. Furthermore, this cooperative agreement program supports national public health priorities and strategic plans including: (1) Centers for Disease Control’s Winnable Battles; (2) Department of Health and Human Service’s Ending the Tobacco Epidemic and Strategic Plan; (3) National Prevention Council’s National Prevention Strategy; (4) Institute of Medicine’s, Ending the Tobacco Problem; and (5) numerous Surgeon General Reports.

B - Cooperative Agreements

State departments of health are essential for coordinating the public health response to prevent tobacco use and protect the population from second hand smoke exposure. They have experience with implementing evidence-based interventions and strategies that use environment, policy, and system approaches that have the potential to reach large numbers of people in the state. State departments of health have experience working with an array of state and local governmental and non-governmental organizations to leverage resources that can support tobacco control efforts across a number of categorical programs and sectors. State departments of health are uniquely positioned to carry out the activities outlined in this funding opportunity announcement. State departments of health serve as the lead for tobacco control in every state. State departments of health have existing personnel who are able to provide technical assistance based on their area of expertise (e.g., environment, policy, and systems approaches, program planning, implementation, and evaluation, health communication, surveillance and epidemiology, partnership development) which conserves valuable resources. All this infrastructure and capacity can be integrated and employed by state departments of health to: Leverage partnerships to support the implementation of evidence-based interventions and strategies to prevent and control tobacco at the state and local levels; implement policy and programmatic strategies that cut across multiple chronic conditions and that leverage individual categorical efforts and create synergies and efficiencies across multiple state programmatic efforts also funded by CDC, given the high level of co-morbidities among people with chronic diseases and conditions (e.g., obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and stroke); utilize the public health resources and capacity unique to state departments of health to achieve a comprehensive state-based tobacco control program; develop models that integrate with other state departments of health chronic disease programs affecting similar populations; collect state-wide surveillance data on tobacco use, secondhand smoke exposure, and the populations most affected through data sources that are uniquely available to state departments of health.
