CPPW BRFSS: Orange County
Community Profile - Tobacco Use Prevention
Overview
Orange County, Florida, which is home to 1,086,480 residents, is
tackling tobacco use with the goal of improving the health of the entire
community. Tobacco-use prevention is important to Orange County, where
respiratory disease is among the top causes of death. Approximately 12.2% of
adults and 11.2% of high-school students in Orange County smoke. Additionally,
more than 60% of high-school students in Orange County report exposure to
secondhand smoke, and only 48.1% of high-school students reported receiving any
tobacco-use prevention education.
Vision
Community changes will help build a healthier Orange County and
create a more satisfying place to live, work, and play. Orange County residents
will suffer less from the adverse effects of tobacco use due to increased
availability of and access to tobacco-cessation programs. Patrons of public
parks, schools, and bars will be exposed to less secondhand smoke. Multiunit
housing will promote smoke-free environments, creating healthier homes in which
community members can live and grow. Tobacco use will be significantly less
prevalent among Orange County residents, and all members of the community will
benefit as a result.
