TOBACCO EDUCATION & PREVENTION COALITION FOR PORTER COUNTY

The Tobacco Education & Prevention Coalition continues to be involved in education, prevention, cessation, and policy efforts. The Coalition is dedicated to building a healthier community by reducing tobacco use and eliminating health disparities related to tobacco use. This can be accomplished by protecting residents from secondhand smoke; education; prevention; reducing youth commercial tobacco use; and offering services to assist smokers in treating nicotine dependence. Our mission is to promote tobacco control initiatives for the purpose of reducing commercial tobacco use by our citizens through education. The Coalition meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 10:00 a.m.. All are welcome to attend. Contact carolyn.higgins@valpo.edu for more information.
