TOBACCO USE PREVENTION EDUCATION
Our agency works together with local schools to provide tobacco use prevention education to all age levels. High school students are encouraged to get involved with school and community prevention efforts. Those students are also assisted to prepare tobacco prevention presentations for elementary classes.
We are also involved in the annual Great American Smoke-out sponsered by the American Cancer Society.
