    • Tobacco Education

    A Public Health Diabetes and Tobacco Outreach Program

    Now Accepting Youth and Adult Referrals

    The Tobacco Education Program is currently accepting referrals for both youth and adults seeking tobacco and nicotine prevention, education, and cessation support services.

    We work with youth, adults, and families to increase awareness of the health risks associated with commercial tobacco products, including vaping and nicotine use, while promoting healthy, tobacco-free lifestyles.

    In addition to cessation services, we provide community outreach and engagement activities, educational presentations, prevention campaigns, health fairs, and community events that promote wellness and tobacco-free living.

    Self-referrals are welcomed.

We empower individuals to quit tobacco by providing tailored counseling and cessation services while actively engaging the community through outreach, education, and partnerships that promote a healthier, tobacco-free future.

    Program Background

    The Tobacco Education Program was established in July 2020 through grant funding from the California Tobacco Control Program, now known as the California Tobacco Prevention Program (CTPP) within the California Department of Public Health.

    LCTHC was awarded continued funding for the 2025–2028 grant cycle to expand tobacco prevention, education, and cessation services within our Tribal community.

    Program Goals

    Our objectives include:

    1. Implementing the Ask, Advise, Refer tobacco screening protocol within LCTHC
    2. Pediatrics to connect patients with cessation services.
    3. Developing and supporting a Tribal Community Tobacco Coalition to guide prevention campaigns and community engagement activities.
    4. Promoting commercial tobacco cessation through education, support, and treatment resources.
    5. Maintaining an active Tobacco Education Program website and social media presence to share information and resources.
