Tobacco-Free Workgroup
About Us
The Tobacco-Free Workgroup was created in 2008 in order to integrate tobacco control and prevention into all of Consortium’s standing committees. The Tobacco–Free Workgroup mobilizes and collaborates with partner organizations to decrease smoking, tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke in Miami-Dade County. The Tobacco-Free Workgroup will focus on initiatives that aim to reduce and prevent initiation of tobacco use, especially among youth, provide resources for smoking cessation, and establish and advocate for ordinances and laws that eliminate secondhand smoke exposure on a local and state level.
