Background: The North Carolina General Assembly appropriated non-recurring funds in FY17-18 and FY18-19 for youth tobacco use prevention. The budget provides funding to develop strategies to prevent the use of new and emerging tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes by youth and people of childbearing age. The Tobacco Prevention and Control Branch (TPCB) collaborates with and builds capacity of partners, including state and local agencies, local health departments and community organizations, to plan and implement culturally appropriate evidence-based strategies to reduce deaths and health problems due to tobacco use and secondhand smoke (SHS). TPCB’s four major goal areas are to: (1) Prevent initiation of tobacco use among youth and young adults; (2) Eliminate exposure to SHS; (3) Promote tobacco use cessation among adults and youth; and (4) Identify and eliminate tobacco-related disparities While cigarette smoking has declined among North Carolina’s young people from 15.5% of high school students in 2011 to 9.3% in 2015, use of any tobacco products increased from 25.8% of high school students in 2011 to 27.6% in 2015. This increase was due to the rising use of emerging tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes (North Carolina Youth Tobacco Survey, 2015). II. Purpose: This Agreement Addendum provides funds for the Local Health Department to develop strategies to prevent the use of all tobacco products, with a focus on new and emerging tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes, by youth and people of childbearing age and to provide tobacco cessation services
