Use broad media-based efforts to educate large groups of current and potential tobacco users about the dangers of tobacco use

Promote walking and biking to school through education, incentives, and environmental changes; often called SRTS

Reduce patients’ out-of-pocket costs for tobacco cessation therapies such as nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and cessation counseling participation
