Ending the Tobacco Problem: Resources for Local Action

New Website Serves as a Resource for Local Action

The Institute of Medicine recently launched Ending the Tobacco Problem: Resources for Local Action, a new tobacco cessation website aimed at providing community coalitions with information to take action in their local communities. Based on the IOM's 2007 report, the website provides examples of organizations that have taken actions similar to or based on the report's recommendations, serving as a model for other communities. The website covers topics such as smoking in the movies, smoke-free beaches, and smoking cessation programs. Visit the site online at www.iom.edu/tobacco.
