Tobacco Prevention and Education Program
Overview
The mission of Linn County Tobacco Prevention & Education Program (TPEP) is to reduce tobacco-related illness and death. To reach this goal the program focuses on:
- Creating Tobacco-Free Environments.
- Preventing Tobacco Initiation among Youth and Young Adults.
- Promoting Quitting among Adults and Youth.
- Identifying and Eliminating Disparities in Tobacco Use.
- Enforcing Tobacco-Related Laws.
The TPEP program helps develop policies to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke and counter influences of the tobacco industry. We work collaboratively for tobacco-free schools, hospitals, community colleges, smoke-free multi-unit housing and workplaces. The TPEP at Linn County is supported by grant funds from the Oregon State Tobacco Prevention & Education Program.
