Health
equity
is the fair and just opportunity for all people to be as healthy as
possible. A new CDC feature
article highlights health equity, including the opportunity
to be free from commercial tobacco. More protections are needed to prevent
tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure among different population
groups, and to help people who use tobacco to quit for good. Everyone
deserves to be as healthy as they can be, and that means living free from
the harmful effects of commercial tobacco. By addressing social
determinants of health, including those related to targeted marketing and
barriers to healthcare, states and communities can move toward health
equity and reduce health disparities.
