Tobacco Use Prevention Program (TUPP)
The program informs youth and community members about the negative health effects of tobacco and nicotine use through education and presentations, and encourages those who smoke, vape or chew to access community or online cessation resources. TUPP works with community stakeholders and the Nicotine Information Coalition to reduce availability of tobacco to youth and reduce exposure to secondhand smoke in outdoor environments.
