Mission Statement
The mission of the Delaware County
Tobacco-Free Coalition is to improve the health and
quality of life for all residents of Delaware County by
preventing, reducing, and/or eliminating tobacco use and
exposure to tobacco smoke pollution.
About
the Coalition
Since its inception in 1997, the Delaware County Tobacco-Free Coalition
has concentrated on reducing and eliminating exposure to tobacco smoke
pollution in Delaware County through awareness campaigns, publications
and community events. More specifically, the Coalition’s present focus
is on reducing tobacco smoke pollution in restaurants, homes, cars and
workplaces.
The Coalition’s efforts also include encouraging and educating schools,
daycares, and community centers about the importance of proactive,
smoke-free policies; educating residents about the free quit smoking
classes available in their areas; working with youth to help counter the
false marketing of tobacco companies; educating lawmakers on the
importance of smoke-free laws and regulations; and last but not least,
investing every individual with the knowledge that tobacco products are
a serious threat to health, and that help is available to those who
desire to quit.
