Main Purpose of Job

CTPC receives Cigarette Restitution Funds (CRF) which include a Local Public Health component. The CRF Program infrastructure is based on the best practice recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office on Smoking and Health.

The overall purpose of the Department’s Tobacco Use Prevention and Control Program is to reduce death, disability and disease that results from tobacco use by utilizing best practice strategies, policy and training. 

This position will support the Division Chief with the planning, development, coordination, promotion, implementation, and evaluation of targeted school-based tobacco use cessation, enforcement, and community-based health education programs.
