In addition to the establishment of the MSDH Office of Tobacco Control, section 41-113-9 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 created the Mississippi Tobacco Control Advisory Council to advise the Office of Tobacco Control on the development and implementation of tobacco-related programs and activities.
The Advisory Council comprises thirteen active members who are appointed by state and university officials. The Council has maintained an active role in the development and implementation of the comprehensive programs implemented within the state.
NOTE: Meeting minutes for the 2024 calendar year are currently under review and pending formal approval by the Tobacco Control Advisory Council. Once approved, the minutes will be made publicly available. This ensures transparency and accuracy in documenting council discussions and decisions.
