During our first year, we will focus on increasing awareness of the dangers of tobacco use.

We will identify health fairs that can be attended to promote cessation. The workgroup will also identify resources available to help residents quit smoking and stop tobacco use in other methods.

Lastly, the workgroup will begin to develop a message for a future Public Service Announcement (PSA). The workgroup will work to develop a PSA that increases awareness of the dangers of tobacco use and the resources availble to help residents quit smoking. The PSA would assist residents in finding resources to stop tobacco use and would work towards the goal of decreasing the percentage of Macomb County residents who use tobacco.
