Adult Tobacco-Use Prevention Coalition

If you are worried about your children or grandchildren starting to smoke, tired of smelling smoke from an apartment neighbor's home or wishing you could walk in public spaces without having to breathe in cigarette smoke, this group is for you. Join a diverse group of tobacco-free advocates from various backgrounds and professions who are working collaboratively to change attitudes and behaviors about tobacco products and use.

Coalition goals include:

  • Reducing youth access to tobacco products
  • Prohibit smoking outdoors in areas such as walkways, streets and shopping centers
  • Strengthen existing tobacco poilicies to include e-cigarettes and vaping products
  • Increase the level of knowledge of our community about the adverse impacts of tobacco product use

New members are always welcome in both coalitions. To get involved please call: 530-265-1451 or email shannon.glaz@nevadacountyca.gov
