Every Seminole County resident deserves a fair chance at a healthy future.
Right now, that future is at risk. In Seminole County, 1 in 9 adults smokes and
1 in 10 youth ages 11-17 vapes or uses another toxic tobacco product.ABOUT
Vision & Mission
We envision a Seminole County where all residents have a fair chance at a healthy future—free from nicotine addiction. Our mission is to to mobilize community partners to establish long-lasting system and policy changes that promote tobacco-free social norms to prevent usage of tobacco products by youth/young adults, eliminate the hazards of secondhand smoke, and decrease the number of deaths due to tobacco products, and improve public health for generations to come.
Our Motivation
- Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States.
- Nine out of ten cigarette smokers start by age 18.
- Smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to develop heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer.
- Nearly 30 percent of cancer deaths in Florida are caused by cigarette smoking.
Our Methods:
- Strengthen relationships within the local community.
- Educate community members on tobacco-related issues.
- Promote positive tobacco reform.
- Build youth leaders and partnerships to invest in their community's future.
