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. 
TCHD, in collaboration with Empower Tusc (formerly known as the Anti-Drug Coalition of Tuscarawas County), has created a tobacco/vaping task force to focus on preventing tobacco use/vaping among youth, connecting those who want to quit to resources, and educating the community. Due to COVID-19, these meetings are currently being conducted virtually with an in-person option.
