American Lung Association Report Card: Local Tobacco Control Grade
Sutter County – The American Lung Association (ALA) in California released its annual
local control grades for all 480 cities and unincorporated areas of California’s 58
counties in January 2011. Local grades are awarded in three categories: smokefree
outdoor air, smokefree housing and reducing sales of tobacco products. These three
grades are averaged for one overall local tobacco control grade.
Sutter County received an overall grade of “F”. Some points were awarded for the City
of Yuba City prohibiting smoking in parks or other recreation areas, allowing the
incorporated city to receive a grade “D” in the smokefree outdoor air category.

Effective January 1, 2011, the law provides certain free preventive services such as wellness visits,
some prescription drug discounts for seniors on Medicare, and other benefits. Information is available on

Local Organizations and Businesses Recognized for Promoting Tobacco Free Environments
Several local organizations and businesses were recognized by the Sutter
County Board of Supervisors at the July 13, 2010 meeting for their proactive
efforts in assuring that those in our community are not exposed to the deadly
effects of tobacco.
Tobacco is the number one preventable cause of death in the United States,
killing more people each year from their own smoking than AIDS, car crashes,
illegal drug use, alcohol, and murders combined. Second hand smoke has
been linked to heart and lung disease, cancer, complications of diabetes,
bronchitis, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. In fact, the National Cancer
Institute states that there is no safe amount of second hand smoke
exposure. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 35,000
Americans die annually from heart disease as a result from exposure to
secondhand smoke.
The Sutter County Public Health Tobacco Control Program is encouraging
local businesses and managers to adopt voluntary "no smoking" policies
and appreciates those stores that do not sell harmful tobacco products at all.
The Sutter County Board of Supervisors presented a Tobacco Free Work in
Sutter County Resolution to the following entities:
-
Sopa Thai Restaurant, Kaffe T' Latte, The Cookie Tree and Starbucks, for providing tobacco free outdoor dining areas;
-
Yuba City Certified Farmer's Market, Candace and Dan Silva, managers, for creating the only local tobacco free farmer's market;
-
Fremont-Rideout Health Group and Sutter Medical Foundation for adopting a tobacco free medical complex;
-
The Yuba City Council and Parks and Recreation Commission for creating 100% tobacco free community parks and prohibiting smoking within 50 feet of city buildings;
-
Yuba Sutter Mall for prohibiting smoking within 50 feet from mall entrances;
-
Target and Kmart for discontinuing the sale of tobacco products in their stores.
For more information on tobacco control or for assistance in adopting a tobacco free policy
for your organization or business, contact the Sutter County Tobacco Control Program at 822-7215.

Skin and Staph Infections
Staphylococcus aureus
(staph)
are bacteria that many healthy people carry
on their skin or in their nose.
Staph can sometimes cause serious infections
like pneumonia, blood, or joint infections, and deep skin infections.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA)
is a type of staph that is
not killed by penicillin and similar antibiotics. It causes skin infections
especially among school children. Students, faculty and staff at schools
should be sensitive to the possibility of disease transmission.
The California Department of Public Health has released information to
address the concerns of the educational community in California about
MRSA.
