Please join the Smoking Cessation Leadership Center at UCSF for the next live webinar, “Illuminating a path forward for Tobacco Nation: Projected impacts of recommended policies on geographic disparities” on Thursday, November 10, 2022, at 1:00 pm EDT (60 minutes).
 
Webinar Objectives

  1. Describe “Tobacco Nation,” a group of 13 states in the South and Midwest of the United States which have disproportionately high rates of smoking compared to the rest of the US.
  2. Describe the expected trajectory of geographic disparities between Tobacco Nation and the rest of the US over 20 years in the absence of policy change (status quo scenario).
  3. Describe expected trajectory of geographic disparities over 20 years if Tobacco Nation states were to implement increased cigarette taxes and tobacco control expenditures (policy scenario).
  4. Compare status quo and policy scenarios to understand the potential impacts of strengthening tobacco control policies in Tobacco Nation.
