Take the Lead Against Youth Tobacco Use

Resources for Youth Tobacco Prevention and Cessation

Schools play an important role in providing a tobacco-free environment and lifestyle for the next generation. Well-Ahead Louisiana and the Louisiana Campaign for Tobacco-Free Living (TFL) developed a comprehensive online toolkit for schools to take the lead in responding to the youth vaping epidemic and take down tobacco for good! The toolkit guides schools in creating a  tobacco-free environment that helps prevent students from using tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, and supporting students who need help quitting.

We all have an important part to play in moving Louisiana’s health forward for the next generation. And it’s critical we start today. According to the 2021 Louisiana Youth Tobacco Survey, vapes are the most popular tobacco product compared to all other tobacco products combined among middle and high school schoolers.
