Description

In 2011, 39% of people with disabilities (PWD) in Ohio smoked vs. 22% of those without. The Ohio Disability and Health Program (ODHP) identified smoking cessation among PWD as a high priority need and collaborated with our state-based Tobacco Use Prevention and Cessation Program to raise awareness of the Ohio Tobacco Quit Line by creating a promotional campaign targeting PWD.
