We’re helping to make our counties a healthier places to live, work, and play.

Tobacco-Free Action of Columbia and Greene Counties raises public awareness and support for addressing problems caused by tobacco use through collaborative work with our communities, leaders, and local officials to create policy-based solutions.

Our Initiatives:

Reality Check is a teen led, adult supported program working across New York State to engage youth as leaders in the movement against the tobacco industry that actively exploits and markets a deadly and addictive product that is enticing to teens.

Smoke-free Housing is cleaner, safer, healthier and less costly to maintain, making it equally beneficial to residents and owners.  Children, seniors and the disabled are particularly vulnerable to the health risks of secondhand smoke.

Tobacco Marketing – We support measures that protect children from the influence of this type of marketing, such as a prohibiting the sale of tobacco near schools, ending the sale of tobacco in pharmacies, and requiring tobacco products to be kept out of sight in retail stores.

Tobacco-Free Outdoors – We work with elected officials to prohibit smoking in parks, playgrounds, recreation areas and other public places, and with businesses and organizations to restrict smoking on company grounds.
