The Tobacco Prevention and Education program promotes public health through education and empowering individuals to live tobacco-free lifestyles. The strong relationships we have developed with community partners allows us to advocate for inclusivity and health equity in tobacco control and policy development. Our goal is to educate all community members about the risks of use and exposure to tobacco products, reduce youth initiation, and provide supportive cessation resources. We are committed to making Lincoln and Lancaster County tobacco and e-cigarette free communities.
