Tobacco prevention and control efforts in Illinois center on four specific and measurable goals:

  • Preventing the initiation of tobacco use among young people.
  • Promoting cessation among young people and adults.
  • Eliminating the exposure of non-smokers to environmental tobacco smoke.
  • Identifying and eliminating disparities related to tobacco use and its effects among different population groups.
