Subcommittees & Advisory Committee

APPEAL Subcommittees on Tobacco Control

As part of an effort to build capacity and develop leadership in our communities, APPEAL has established several tobacco control subcommittees for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. These subcommittees include participants from the APPEAL Network who have been working in the tobacco control field for many years and have developed a wealth of expertise in the subcommittee topic area. Subcommittees also include those who have been identified as new leaders seeking to support and help strengthen the voice of their community.

Below is a list of APPEAL's current subcommittees:

• Cessation
• Legislative Policy and Secondhand Smoke
• Parity
• Research
• Youth

These subcommittees will discuss critical issues related to their respective topics, monitor recent advances, trends, threats or policy opportunities, and identify key materials (including in-language) and resources (e.g. journal articles) to help address their subcommittee focus. They will also provide APPEAL with input and direction for developing promising practices in a variety of tobacco control areas.

If you would like more information on these subcommittees or to keep updated on their activities, please go to the APPEAL Contact page and fill out a contact form.
