Smoke-Free Air on TPCP Web Pages
There is fresh content on the DHS landing page for TPCP on the subject of Smoke-Free Air in Wisconsin, especially at a time when the cigar bar bill aims to weaken smoke-free air protections for all Wisconsinites. This is a trusted link to more information on this important topic.
Please note: The TPCP web pages will be expanding in early 2024 to include separate tabs for smoke free air, menthol, and the JUUL Settlement. We aim to provide more public-facing in-depth and trusted resources to help in your local work.
New FY24 Local Communications Tactic: Community Award Nominations
Community award nominations are an approved communications tactic for FY24. These are opportunities publicized by local non-profits, chambers of commerce, or other community organizations for the purpose of recognizing leaders or volunteers while simultaneously raising their own visibility. For example, you may see a call for nominations for Women of Influence or a Youth Volunteer of the Year award. Consider submitting a nomination for yourself or a member of your coalition. If you’d like help to draft the nomination papers, please contact Gina Larsen or Annie Rosemurgy.
Media outlets who run these awards programs generally spotlight all nominees. There is an expectation that the winners’ organizations will place paid ads upon being notified their nominee has won the award. In this situation, paid advertising is also sanctioned.
Updated Wisconsin Adult Tobacco Data
Wisconsin Tobacco Facts: Adults (December 2023) was recently published by Karen Palmersheim, PhD, Associate Scientist and Principal Investigator for Tobacco Surveillance & Evaluation at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Center for Urban Population Health.
The report includes the most recently available data on trends in tobacco use, tobacco- related exposure, and attitudes among Wisconsin adults. Data are primarily from the Wisconsin Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
Thinking Locally: TPCP plans to produce an Adult Prevalence Fact Sheet in early 2024, and we will share it with you, along with comms tools to help in your local work.
