Youth Prevention

To prevent young people from using tobacco, Students Working Against Tobacco (SWAT) serves as an advocacy program to empower youth to stand up against the manipulative marketing tactics by the tobacco industry.

SWAT advocates from local middle and high schools are available to host tobacco-prevention projects and presentations for your agency. SWAT advocates are charged to get the word out for a tobacco-free generation.

The SWAT program is actively recruiting youth who attend a Seminole County middle or high school.

Great American Smokeout

The Tobacco Prevention Program actively participates in the annual Great American Smokeout.

For more information on the yearly celebration to encourage folks to quit smoking, visit the American Cancer Society.
