Youth Tobacco Prevention

Youth Tobacco Prevention involves efforts to reduce or eliminate tobacco use among young people. This includes educating teens about the health risks of smoking and vaping, enforcing laws that limit minors' access to tobacco products, and promoting supportive environments that discourage tobacco use. The goal is to prevent initiation and help adolescents make informed choices, ultimately reducing health issues and addiction later in life. Effective strategies often combine school-based programs, community outreach, and policy measures to protect youth and foster healthier, tobacco-free lifestyles.
