About Us

The Center for Public Health and Tobacco Policy (Center) is a resource for the New York  and Vermont tobacco control communities.  The Center is funded by grants through the Departments of Health of both New York State and Vermont and works with their Tobacco Control Programs, as well as program contractors and partners, to develop and support policy initiatives that reduce tobacco-related morbidity and mortality.

The Center is located at New England Law | Boston and is project of the Center for Law and Social Responsibility.  The Center is also affiliated with the Tobacco Control Legal Consortium.

The Center works with tobacco control advocates in New York and Vermont to support the adoption of evidence-based policies that reduce the availability of tobacco products, protect non-smokers from secondhand smoke, and minimize tobacco advertising and promotion.

Please Note:  The Center is funded to provide assistance to the Tobacco Control Programs of New York and Vermont, their contractors and partners.  At this time, the Center is unable to provide assistance to individuals or groups who are not funded by the these programs.

Programs funded by the New York State or Vermont Tobacco Control programs can contact us to request technical assistance.  We will respond to your request as soon as possible.
