Tobacco remains a leading cause of preventable death and disease, and efforts to <br /> limit its availability and accessibility are critical components of comprehensive tobacco control strategies. By <br /> enacting zoning restrictions near schools,libraries,and parks in Grange County,we can contribute to the overall <br /> reduction in tobacco use prevalence and its devastating health consequences within our community. <br /> The Change County Board of Health urges the Orange County Planning Department to follow the recent actions <br /> of Wake and Cumberland counties and consider the implementation of tobacco.retailer zoning restrictions near <br /> schools, libraries, and parks as a proactive measure to protect the health and well-being of our residents, <br /> particularly our youth. By acting on this issue,we can create healthier environments,reduce the prevalence of <br /> tobacco use,and pave the way for a brighter,tobacco-free future for generations to come. <br /> If you have questions or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out.
