Chronic Disease Prevention Programs 

Tobacco Use

Both heart disease and cancer are major risk factors from tobacco use and the single largest preventable cause of disease, disability, or death in the United States. For help with quitting smoking call the Wisconsin Tobacco QuitLine at 1-800-QUITNOW, 800-784-8669, or call us 715-246-8263.

It is federal law that anyone under the age of 21 can not legally buy tobacco products. Public Health does compliance investigations, through implementation of Wisconsin Wins to ensure retailers of tobacco products are following this law. St. Croix County is part of the Western Wisconsin Tobacco-Free Alliance at 715-485-8400.
