Tobacco Use Prevention for Youth
Youth face many obvious and subtle pressures to use tobacco products, including cigarettes, flavored cigarettes (bidis), and smokeless tobacco (chew, snuff).
Helping children and young adults understand these pressures and learn ways to cope with them are an important part of the Health Department's Tobacco Use Prevention Program. Below are descriptions of many of our programs specifically for youth.
