Tobacco Education

Tobacco Education improves the health of Montgomery County by reducing tobacco use among youth and adults. Our comprehensive tobacco control program includes education about tobacco prevention and smoking cessation.

According to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, raising the tax on other tobacco products so that it equals the tax rate on cigarettes would decrease the overall consumption of tobacco by more than 13%, and reduce youth tobacco consumption by 25%.

National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW)

NIW April 21st-28th is National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW).

The goal of the Immunization Program is to increase awareness about immunizations across the life span, from infants to the elderly. NIIW is the perfect time to remind family, friends, co-workers, and those in the community to immunize their children, as well as catch up on their own vaccinations.
