The goal of the National Latino Tobacco Control Network (NLTCN) is to reduce tobacco-use disparities, associated premature deaths and disabilities among Hispanic/Latino (H/L) populations by creating a Network of community-based organizations, advocates, and public health experts in H/L communities to support evidence-based policies/practices in the areas of comprehensive policies, advocacy, prevention, cessation and exposure to secondhand smoke.
The Network has been funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through a five year cooperative agreement as part of the National Network Initiatives. The National Latino Tobacco Control Network (NLTCN) started operating in July 2008.
