Tobacco
Welcome to the homepage of the Maine Public Health Association's Tobacco Policy Subcommittee.
Members of our committee have been collaborating for more than two decades to improve the health and well-being of Maine people by eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke, reducing tobacco use rates and protecting the Fund for a Healthy Maine, Maine's share of Tobacco/Master Settlement Agreement dollars.
The committee previously worked under the umbrella of the Health Policy Partners of Maine, and before that operated as the Maine Coalition on Smoking or Health. For more information*, please scroll down the page.
We cannot continue to operate without the dedicated support of our partners and constituency. Please consider making a donation to the Maine Public Health Association's public policy activities.
