Achieving Health Equity: Standing Together Against Commercial Tobacco & Nicotine, 2025–2​026

​About the TEROC Plan

Every two years, TEROC updates its strategic plan for tobacco control and prevention. The 2025–2026 TEROC Plan is built around eight main objectives, listed below. For each objective, the Plan recommends strategies in five areas: policy, education, research, partnership, and funding. The Plan serves as a call to action not only for the three agencies overseen by TEROC and their funded programs, but for all stakeholders, partners, and allies in tobacco prevention.
