Strong youth and adult leadership and exemplary policy and program interventions put a unique synergy to work in North Carolina. The state aspires to be a model for the nation in overcoming barriers related to tobacco use prevention by empowering its greatest resource--youth. New grant funding is building the foundation for youth empowerment programs, and increased and sustained funding is being sought to significantly expand these efforts. Youth speak with a fresh voice, bringing energy and conviction, as well as non-traditional ideas and strategies to the achievement of their goals. By changing public opinion and influencing the actions of leaders in the nation's leading tobacco state, the North Carolina Tobacco Prevention and Control Branch will develop leadership for tobacco use prevention that will serve the entire nation.
