Business

Communities
The Social Norms Toolkit was created as a means to positively affect socially accepted behavior around the issues of smoking and second-hand smoke. The key premise of this toolkit is to assist with creating social environments that support, promote and reinforce healthy behavior choices. This goal goes far beyond just tobacco control efforts, and can be applied to almost any public health focus.
