Abstract: Partners identified the following strengths and challenges of New York’s tobacco control program: • The experience and leadership of the DOH TCP Director was a major strength of the program. • Clean indoor air efforts throughout the state were also a strength. • Partners were concerned about the security of funding due to the large state and city budget deficits. • The highly politicized DOH environment and slow grant process were viewed as barriers to the program. • Little support from state policymakers and the influence of the tobacco industry made implementing a comprehensive program challenging.
