<strong>TPCP</strong> Update2010 Highlights of <strong>TPCP</strong> GoalsThe <strong>Utah</strong> Department of Health (UDOH) <strong>Tobacco</strong> <strong>Prevention</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Control</strong><strong>Program</strong> (<strong>TPCP</strong>) <strong>and</strong> its partners use comprehensive strategies to reducetobacco use <strong>and</strong> tobacco-related disease <strong>and</strong> death. Major program outcomesare listed below:Helping <strong>Tobacco</strong> Users QuitWith an age-adjusted adult smoking rate of 8.8% (2010), <strong>Utah</strong> continues tohave the lowest adult smoking rate in the U.S. 1 Still, nearly 200,000 youth <strong>and</strong>adult <strong>Utah</strong>ns smoke <strong>and</strong> may need help quitting.The <strong>Utah</strong> <strong>TPCP</strong> invited Terrie Hall(shown above on a poster displayedat <strong>Utah</strong> bus shelters), a cancersurvivor <strong>and</strong> anti-tobacco activist, tovisit <strong>Utah</strong> high schools <strong>and</strong> educatestudents about the dangers oftobacco. A smoker since her earlyteens, Terrie began having severethroat pains <strong>and</strong> was diagnosed withstage IV squamous cell carcinoma.As a result of her tobacco addiction,Hall lost her voice box, breathesthrough a hole in her neck, <strong>and</strong>endured multiple debilitatingradiation treatments <strong>and</strong> surgeries.References:1 <strong>Utah</strong> Department of Health.

Volume 45. Arlington,Virginia: Orzechowski <strong>and</strong> Walker Consulting.2●● The TRUTH campaign continued to reach adults with messages that encouragedquit attempts <strong>and</strong> informed them about evidence-based quit services. In 2011, 94%of adult smokers were aware of the <strong>Utah</strong> <strong>Tobacco</strong> Quit Line <strong>and</strong> 81% knew aboutthe online quit service, <strong>Utah</strong> QuitNet. Adult smokers who reported that they sawor heard anti-tobacco ads were more likely to know about quit services or to haveused them than smokers who were not exposed to ads. 2 <strong>Utah</strong>QuitNet advertising onTV <strong>and</strong> on the radio in January 2011 resulted in a three-fold increase in QuitNetregistrations compared to registrations during the month of January in previous years.● ● During FY2011, nearly 11,000 <strong>Utah</strong>ns used <strong>TPCP</strong>-funded tobacco cessationservices. Tailored services were offered for adults, teens, <strong>and</strong> pregnant women.These quit services greatly increased tobacco users’ quit success.●● The <strong>Utah</strong> Quit Line <strong>and</strong> <strong>Utah</strong> QuitNet have served nearly 87,000 registered userssince the <strong>TPCP</strong> began offering the telephone-based quit program in 2001 <strong>and</strong> theonline program in 2003. In FY2011, the Quit Line <strong>and</strong> QuitNet served an averageof 860 <strong>Utah</strong>ns per month with free counseling <strong>and</strong> tailored quit information.●● In FY2011, 615 <strong>Utah</strong> youth tobacco users participated in the <strong>Utah</strong>-developedteen cessation class, Ending Nicotine Dependence. Ten percent of participantsreported quitting <strong>and</strong> an additional 32% reduced their smoking by the final class.Preventing Youth from Starting to Use <strong>Tobacco</strong>In 2009, 8.5% of <strong>Utah</strong> high school students (grades 9-12) reported that theyhad smoked in the past 30 days. <strong>Utah</strong>’s youth smoking rate is less than half thenational rate of 19.5%. 3●● In 2011, 93% of <strong>Utah</strong> youth ages 13 to 17 reported that they saw or heardanti-tobacco ads at least once a month during the past six months, <strong>and</strong> 92%said the TV ads made them think of the negative effects of tobacco use. 2●● Since 2002, 19 of <strong>Utah</strong>’s 41 school districts worked with <strong>TPCP</strong> <strong>and</strong> local healthdepartments to strengthen tobacco-free school policies, tobacco education, <strong>and</strong> policyenforcement. These districts serve nearly 200,000 students in 361 schools.●● Since 2001, illegal tobacco sales to underage youth during compliance checksdeclined by 64%. At 5.7%, the rate of non-compliance is at its lowest recorded level.To lower the rate of non-compliance <strong>and</strong> educate retailers about <strong>Utah</strong>’s tobaccoaccess laws, local health departments shared educational materials <strong>and</strong> conductedtrainings.●● One Good Reason, <strong>Utah</strong>’s statewide anti-tobacco youth group, educated <strong>Utah</strong>nsabout new, dissolvable tobacco products that resemble breath mints <strong>and</strong> strips.The composition, packaging, <strong>and</strong> flavoring of these products might be particularlyappealing to children.

In 2010,16% of <strong>Utah</strong> adults with a householdincome of less than $25,000 reportedcurrent smoking. 1 In comparison, only4% of <strong>Utah</strong> adults with a householdincome of $75,000 or higher reportedcurrent smoking. 1Youth Smoking• Since 1999, the percentage of <strong>Utah</strong>high school students who had ever triedcigarette smoking declined by 40%. 3• The percentage of high school studentswho reported current smokingdecreased from 12% in 1999 to 8% in2001. Since 2001, it has remained inthe range of 7.3% to 8.5% (Figure 3). 2Smoking Among Pregnant Women• Since 1999, smoking among pregnantwomen has decreased by 21% (Figure4). In 2009, 6.5% of pregnant womenreported that they smoked during theirpregnancies. 3References:• Pregnant women in their teens <strong>and</strong>pregnant women with a high schooleducation or less continue to reportsmoking rates of 13% or higher. 3Exposure to Secondh<strong>and</strong> Smoke• In 2010, 1.9% (or 16,600) <strong>Utah</strong>children age 17 <strong>and</strong> younger wereexposed to secondh<strong>and</strong> smoke insidethe home. 1 The percentage of <strong>Utah</strong>children who live in homes wherepeople smoke indoors has declinedsignificantly since 2001.• Since 1999, the percentage of <strong>Utah</strong>adults who have a rule against smokingin their homes has increased from 87%to 93%. 1<strong>Tobacco</strong>-related Disease <strong>and</strong> Death• Smoking is the leading cause of lungcancer death in men <strong>and</strong> women.Other diseases caused by smokinginclude esophageal, laryngeal, oral, <strong>and</strong>throat cancers; cervical, bladder, kidney,pancreatic, <strong>and</strong> stomach cancers; acutemyeloid leukemia; pneumonia; chroniclung disease; cataracts; periodontitis;aortic aneurysm; <strong>and</strong> coronary heart<strong>and</strong> cardiovascular disease.• <strong>Utah</strong>’s lung <strong>and</strong> bronchus cancerincidence has decreased significantlysince 1999 (Figure 5). 4• Despite this progress, more than 1,200<strong>Utah</strong>ns age 35 or older die each yearas a result of tobacco use. 61 <strong>Utah</strong> Department of Health.
