title: [Design and implementation of evidence-based measures for the prevention and treatment of tobacco use disorder: the experience of the Public Health Department of the Cesena Local Health Authority].
abstract: Tobacco smoke is the main cause of preventable death in Italy. It is important therefore to develop evidence-based measures aimed at preventing and treating tobacco addiction. This article describes the "Smoke-free" community project, implemented in the territory of the Cesena Local Health Authority. The success of the project shows that it is possible to carry out inter-sectorial and evidence-based prevention. It also leads to considerations about the role of Prevention Services in the fight against tobacco smoke.
