The mission of the Sutter County Tobacco Control Program is to improve the health
of all Sutter County residents by reducing illness and premature death attributable
to the use of tobacco products.

Sutter County Tobacco Control is a program of chronic disease and health disparities
that works to increase awareness of the health risks of tobacco use. Sutter County Tobacco
Control also works to counter pro-tobacco influences, reduce tobacco sales to youth under
18, refer smokers to cessation programs and assist communities to reduce exposure to
secondhand smoke.
Sutter County Tobacco Control Program offers free quit-kits and educational materials to
the community. The Tobacco Control staff conduct
presentations in the community, participates in community events, provide merchant
education trainings and in-store visits, and provides technical assistance to local
business that wish to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke through policy implementation.
The Tobacco Control Program fosters and involves a community coalition, the Substance
Abuse Steering Coalition (SASC), to engage in grassroots community mobilization activities
that promote social norm changes and educate the public about health issues related to
tobacco use and tobacco industry strategies that promote tobacco use.
