Hurricane Helene: Public Health Department Closures

Latest updates: Hurricane Helene

Our public health departments' hours of operation may be affected by power and staffing outages. This means that some closures may not appear on the state government office delays and closings map. The health and safety of our employees and our clients remains our highest priority. We are working to get services restored as safely and quickly as possible.

Commercial tobacco use remains the single largest avoidable risk factor for disease and premature death in the United States and in South Carolina.


The Division of Tobacco Prevention and Control uses data to identify commercial tobacco use-related health disparities and to effectively implement meaningful commercial tobacco prevention and control strategies that include:

  • Reducing exposure to secondhand smoke and vaping aerosol (SHS/VA)
  • Increasing access to cessation resources and support
  • Working to acknowledge, educate, and collaboratively address drivers of commercial tobacco use-related health disparities
  • Reducing youth access to commercial tobacco and other harmful nicotine products
