Region 7 CORE Tobacco Grant
Tobacco use remains the number one preventable cause of death and disease in our community, state and nation. The Wake County Tobacco Prevention and Control initiative, formerly known as Project ASSIST, is funded by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). This local effort involves collaboration with local, regional and state partners working on smoke-free environments, tobacco-free lifestyles, awareness education about the harms of all tobacco products and promotion of evidence-based quit interventions to reduce the burden of tobacco in our community.
