Tobacco-Free Communities

Tobacco-Free Communities are initiatives aimed at reducing tobacco use and exposure within a community. These programs promote policies that limit where people can smoke or use tobacco products, such as workplaces, public spaces, and schools. The goal is to protect residents from secondhand smoke, decrease tobacco-related health problems, and create healthier environments. By fostering awareness, supporting tobacco cessation efforts, and advocating for smokefree policies, tobacco-free community programs help improve public health and prevent tobacco addiction, especially among youth and vulnerable populations.
