Most tobacco users began using as an adolescent or teen. The longer we, as a society, can delay the age of the "first use" of tobacco products by the youth, the higher the likelihood is they will choose not to use tobacco. To support this effort, the health department works in conjunction with tobacco retailers to prevent retail sales to youth.

 The Tobacco Companies spend billions and billions of dollars each year on tobacco advertising and marketing their products to the youth. They are relentless in their efforts of targeting young people as well as adults to obtain and use their products. If
you are a teen who uses and would like to quit, we have help for you!
Tobacco products are the only product mass produced and marketed that when used as directed, kills. |
