Kitsap County Health District’s (KCHD) Tobacco Prevention Program primary goals are to:

  • Prevent youth from beginning tobacco use
  • Help youth and adults quit
  • Reduce exposure to second hand smoke
  • Eliminate the disproportionate health impact on
    specific populations resulting from high tobacco use.

The program takes a comprehensive approach to tobacco control, which includes collaboration through community partnerships and local efforts. KCHD also provides staff support and technical assistance to the Kitsap Tobacco Alcohol and Other Substances Coalition (K-TASC).
