NACDD is dedicated to promoting the strategic efforts of the public health workforce, developing partnerships with tobacco control organizations, and advancing and sustaining policy changes that prevent and reduce tobacco use and exposure.   NACDD is working to close the gap between “what we know” and “what we do” in regards to tobacco control.
