American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) have the highest prevalence of cigarette smoking compared to all other racial/ethnic groups in the United States. As some American Indians use traditional tobacco for ceremonial, prayer, or medicinal purposes; it is important to understand the distinction between commercial tobacco and traditional tobacco use.

Theory-based and evidence-informed resources created by educators, parents, and researchers aimed at preventing middle and high school students’ use of tobacco and nicotine.
Based on feedback from educators, we have created sample curriculums that you can use, each broken down into 5-minute sessions. These pre-determined curriculums allow for more consistency within and across districts and schools, and are useful if you have limited time to organize and plan out a curriculum yourself.

Tobacco use remains the number one underlying cause of premature death and disability in Delaware and the nation. The Delaware Division of Public Health works to prevent the use of tobacco products through its Tobacco Prevention and Control Program (TPCP). The TPCP collaborates with the IMPACT Delaware Tobacco Prevention Coalition, health care organizations, youth and community groups, educational organizations, grassroots networks, and state agencies. The Tobacco Program offers two programs to help smokers quit, conducts media campaigns, and funds youth-led campaigns and peer-education groups.پیشگیری از دخانیات
The TPCP is supported by a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and appropriations from the Delaware Health Fund. Follow this link to contact the Tobacco Prevention and Control Program office.

Youth use of tobacco products in any form is unsafe, irrespective of whether it is smoked, smokeless, or electronic. If cigarette smoking continues at the current rate among youth in this country, 5.6 million of today’s Americans younger than 18 will die early from a smoking-related illness. That’s about 1 of every 13 Americans aged 17 years or younger alive today.

We recently updated our School E-cigarette Toolkit, which provides tools and resources for Minnesota school staff, including administrators, educators, teachers and health services staff, who are working to address the use of e-cigarettes and other vaping products in schools. It outlines opportunities for action that can be taken by various school staff, along with resources and tools to help.

The tobacco use landscape in the United States and Minnesota is evolving. E-cigarettes are rapidly increasing in popularity, especially among youth. However, products like cigarettes and smokeless tobacco continue to have a stronger hold in rural areas due to decades of targeted marketing by the tobacco industry, which integrated tobacco use into rural culture.
Tobacco products contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and can harm brain development as teens grow. Rural youth are at higher risk for harm, because they tend to begin using tobacco products at a younger age and use tobacco products more frequently.
This data brief dives deeper into rural youth tobacco use in Minnesota.

Menthol tobacco use is particularly common in the African American community. Nearly nine in ten African American smokers age 12 and older use menthol. In 215, the Minnesota Department of Health awarded a two-year grant to Hennepin County, Saint Paul-Ramsey, Bloomington-Edina-Richfield, and Minneapolis Health Departments to better understand menthol tobacco use in the African American community. Local public health formed a close partnership with the African American Leadership Forum to engage the African American community on menthol through assessment and education.
A new case study on this work describes successes, challenges, and lessons learned during the 215 Menthol Cigarette Intervention Grant with a focus on the role of public health in the menthol policy adoption process. The purpose of this case study is to inform other local and state health departments who are working on menthol so they can learn from these efforts and more effectively implement a community-driven approach to menthol tobacco prevention in their own communities.
Minnesota has long been a leader in tobacco prevention and cessation, and for many years the declines in our adult prevalence rate showed we were ahead of the rest of the country. The new MATS found several improvements resulting from our state’s past work to reduce smoking: Minnesotans are keeping their homes and cars smoke-free at very high rates, and for the first time in more than a decade, we observed a rise in the percentage of Minnesotans who have never smoked cigarettes.
However, the new data also suggest a changing picture. Progress at reducing smoking is stalling out, and current Minnesota smokers are struggling to quit. At the same time, the tobacco industry continues tailoring nicotine products like e-cigarettes, using appealing flavors and attracting youth and young adults who never smoked.

Tobacco use kills over 6,3 Minnesotans every year and costs Minnesota $3.2 billion annually in medical costs. Investing in tobacco prevention and control saves lives and taxpayer dollars.
We’re working to reduce tobacco’s harm by:
Thanks to effective, evidence-based policies that ensure clean indoor air and keep tobacco prices high, Minnesota’s smoking rates are the lowest ever recorded.
Among 11th graders, smoking fell from 12.2 percent in 213 to 8.4 percent in 216. Among adults, smoking fell from 16.1 percent in 21 to 14.4 percent in 214.
More kids are using new and flavored products, like e-cigarettes. E-cigarette use is twice as high as conventional cigarettes. Nicotine, found in these products, is highly addictive and harmful to the adolescent brain.
Learn more about e-cigarettes and other vaping products.
Many communities also still use tobacco at significantly higher rates. Culturally appropriate and community-led efforts are needed to close these gaps.
