Communities Mobilizing Interventions on Tobacco
View the pdf flyer
COMIT(Communities Mobilizing Interventions on Tobacco) is a three-year project in the south Santa Cruz County, within the Central Coast region.
There are three main goals:
• first, to encourage the adoption of voluntary smoke-free campus policies at treatment facilities, such as alcohol and drug treatment or mental health centers.
• The second goal is to promote tobacco-free outdoor construction and/or agricultural work sites that are not protected under current state law.
• The third goal is to advocate for the adoption of new tobacco-use client screenings among local community and social service agencies.
The primary target populations for the project are low-income, low-education smokers and their families, who are negatively affected by tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure risks. The COMIT grant will provide community education and resource materials on the many benefits of quitting smoking, and smoke-free policies. Project staff will offer free trainings and technical assistance to agencies to implement policies.
