Design and implementation of evidence-based measures for the prevention and treatment of tobacco use disorder: the experience of the Public Health Department of the Cesena Local Health Authority

Tobacco smoke is the main cause of preventable death in Italy. It is important therefore to develop evidence-based measures aimed at preventing and treating tobacco addiction. This article describes the "Smoke-free" community project, implemented in the territory of the Cesena Local Health Authority. The success of the project shows that it is possible to carry out inter-sectorial and evidence-based prevention. It also leads to considerations about the role of Prevention Services in the fight against tobacco smoke.
