Addicted to Living, Committed to Quitting

Long County has been chosen by the State Tobacco Use Prevention Program to participate in the Tobacco-Related Health Disparities Project. The purpose of the project is to build a Long County-specific tobacco prevention movement that will identify people at high risk for tobacco use and offer the community tobacco prevention and cessation resources.

The Coastal Health District/Long County Health Department is partnering with the Long County Family Connection Partnership's Youth Advisory Council to create the "Addicted to Living, Committed to Quitting" media campaign.

This campaign is designed to get the word out about the adverse health consequences of tobacco use and to share information on how to quit through a series of ads, posters, videos and a billboard that will feature local youth and adults. For more information on the campaign, click here.
