Exploring the Tobacco Endgame - Implications for Behavioral Health

With over 40 million individuals using commercial tobacco products in the United States, tobacco remains the number one preventable cause of disease, disability and death. Individuals with mental health and/or substance use (MH/SU) challenges consume up to 40% of tobacco products and experience tobacco – related disparities, making them a priority population to consider in strategizing the tobacco endgame.
