Tobacco Prevention Program

San Mateo County Health System

Aims to reduce the number of county residents using tobacco products.

Description:

Works to reduce the number of county residents using tobacco products. Conducts community outreach, education and advocacy activities in four areas: reducing the public's exposure to secondhand smoke, reducing youth access to tobacco products, countering pro-tobacco influences, and promoting the availability of tobacco cessation services. Also provides support to the San Mateo County Tobacco Education Coalition. The San Mateo County Tobacco Education Coalition was established with wide community representation to assure the fullest collaboration among agencies and target populations for addressing the problem of tobacco use in the county. The role of the Coalition is to identify priority tobacco education and policy needs and work with residents and agencies to provide services to meet those needs. The current priorities of the Coalition are smoke-free multi-unit housing, tobacco-free pharmacies, and regulation of electronic smoking devices. Interested community members can call or email for ways to become involved. You can find more information on our Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/TobaccoEducationCoalition
