Addressing Tobacco Cessation in the South Asian Community
Rutgers Cancer InstituteNew Jersey’s only NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center is helping to develop educational efforts to combat the negative effects of tobacco on the state’s South Asian population. An NCI grant will provide for the creation of a service-oriented set of instructional tools that health educators will be able to utilize not only in New Jersey, but also nationwide. The goal is to inform South Asians of the dangers of tobacco and smokeless tobacco products and what cessation resources are available.
