Data and Resources for States

Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) – Tobacco Prevention and Control Project
The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials is the national nonprofit organization representing the state and territorial public health agencies of the United States, the U.S. Territories, and the District of Columbia. ASTHO's members, the chief health officials of these jurisdictions, are responsible for formulating and influencing sound public health policy, and assuring excellence in state-based public health practice.

The ASTHO Tobacco Prevention and Control Project was established in 1988 and currently operates under a 5 year Cooperative Agreement with the Office on Smoking and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Project raises the visibility of tobacco prevention and control issues among state health officials and their senior staff. It ensures that state health officials and their agencies have the information and tools they need to address tobacco control activities in their state. The Project improves the capacity of states to prevent tobacco addiction and works with partner organizations to analyze emerging issues.
