Tobacco Use Prevention & Cessation Program

Program Goal: The goals of the Tobacco Use Prevention and Cessation Program are to create social norm change through community action to decrease initiation and use of tobacco in local communities, as well as decrease the community’s exposure to secondhand smoke. 
The TCHD, in collaboration with the Anti-Drug Coalition of Tuscarawas County, has created a tobacco/vaping task force that focuses on preventing tobacco use/vaping among youth, connecting those who want to quit to resources, and educating the community. The task force meets on the 3rd Monday of every month at 10 am. Due to COVID-19, these meetings are currently being conducted virtually. For more information please call 330-343-5555.
