Summary
Existing law establishes the Tobacco Education and Research Oversight Committee (TEROC) to advise the State Department of Public Health and the State Department of Education with respect to policy development, integration, and evaluation of tobacco education programs funded under specified provisions. This bill would require TEROC to develop and oversee a statewide community education plan to translate, disseminate, and apply research findings from the Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program related to teenage vaping and nicotine cessation. The bill would require TEROC to develop a plan to identify and share best practices on effective, developmentally appropriate nicotine cessation strategies for youth, as specified. The bill would also require the State Department of Public Health to establish a pilot program in the County of Los Angeles, the County of Sacramento, and the County of Santa Clara to, among other things, implement targeted intervention programs for youth under 21 years of age who are addicted to nicotine and to prioritize developmentally appropriate cessation strategies over traditional nicotine replacement therapies.
