Description
This grant funds community-based organizations in Florida to develop and implement tobacco prevention interventions aimed at reducing tobacco use, especially among youth, young adults, and low-income populations. The program emphasizes policy, system, and environmental changes that shift social norms around tobacco, prevent initiation (including e-cigarettes), eliminate secondhand smoke exposure, and promote quitting. Funded activities must align with CDC Best Practices and include partnership-building, youth engagement (notably through Students Working Against Tobacco chapters), and targeted outreach to populations experiencing tobacco-related disparities.
