Tobacco Prevention and Education Program In 1996 Oregonians passed Ballot Measure 44, raising the cigarette tax and appropriating 3 cents of this tax to establish a statewide tobacco prevention and education program. Oregon Health Authority oversees this program which provides funding to all county health departments and contracts with the Oregon Tobacco Quitline to provide cessation services to Oregonians. Tobacco continues to be the leading preventable cause of death in Oregon, and is attributable to over 30% of the deaths in Crook County annually. CROOK COUNTY TOBACCO PREVENTION AND EDUCATION GOALS
