Community Partnerships
Community partnerships covering all 62 NYS counties work to change the community environment to support the tobacco-free norm. Partnerships engage local stakeholders, educate community leaders and the public, and mobilize the community to strengthen tobacco-related policies to restrict the use and availability of tobacco products and tobacco product promotion and limit opportunities for exposure to secondhand smoke.
Tobacco Free School Policy Partners
Tobacco Free School Policy partners provide resources and support to schools around the state seeking to develop, implement, and enforce effective tobacco free school policies.
Youth Action Partners
Youth action partners train youth to become activists in the movement to change community norms regarding tobacco use. These programs engage middle- and high school-aged youth in activities aimed at deglamorizing and de-normalizing tobacco use in their communities.
Tobacco Cessation Centers
Cessation centers work with health-care organizations and providers to implement systems to screen patients for tobacco use and prompt providers to offer advice and assistance to quit.
