Underage Smoking Prevention Programs

Underage Smoking Prevention Programs are initiatives designed to reduce cigarette use among minors by educating them about health risks, enforcing laws restricting sales, and promoting healthy lifestyles. These programs often include school-based education, community outreach, and policy enforcement to discourage minors from starting or continuing to smoke. The goal is to prevent youth from developing lifelong nicotine habits, protect their health, and reduce the long-term societal costs associated with smoking-related illnesses.
