The Northern Tobacco Control Group (TCG) works in partnership with
the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety to deliver
effective smoking cessation and preventative initiatives throughout
the Northern Health and Social Services Board area. The Northern
TCG is made up of all the many agencies with a remit for tobacco
control.
The Northern TCG aims to raise awareness of the dangers of tobacco
smoke through public information campaigns, health education programmes,
provision of smoking cessation services to support those who wish
to quit, preventative initiatives and promotion of smoke-free environments.
It also addresses inequalities by targeting vulnerable groups:
Children and young people;
Pregnant women; and
Disadvantaged adults.
