Tobacco Free Communities

Tobacco Free Communities (TFC) is an innovative, comprehensive, community-school linked program that targets the tobacco education and cessation needs of youth, young adults, parents and smokers.

TFC is designed to:

Significantly reduce tobacco use among teens and young adults.
Reduce the illegal availability of tobacco to minors.
Reduce the amount of tobacco advertising targeting youth.
Increase the number of smokers attempting to quit.
Reduce the number of residents exposed to toxic environmental tobacco smoke.
