Smoking continues at significant levels in-certain Warren County populations. School-age children continue to initiate smoking at a young age. The few courses we have been able to offer through our Health Educator have been very successful. However, a major comprehensive initiative in our schools is very much needed. Smoking amoung older adults is another difficult issue. Again, we have made small efforts in this direction., but much-more staff and materials are needed. We would be pleased to•support the New Jersey Department of Health, The American Cancer Society, and the state and local coalitions in any con- tract and/or project that assists us to;address these community needs. We would be pleased to•make such staff and material that we have available to the program,and would be willing to participate withim the limit of our budget. We aliready work closely with the local unit of the American Cancer Society and wouUd be honored to serve in any state or local coalition effort to which we could contribute. Don`t hesitate to contact me if we may be of further assistance. Sincerely, Emmett E. Landiak PubLic Health Coordinator EEL:sm
