Our mission is to make communities throughout the Finger Lakes region healthier places to live, work and play. We are committed to decreasing tobacco use and creating healthy smoke-free environments for all through several initiative areas that include:
Point of Sale Marketing
The tobacco industry spends over a half million dollars a day in New York State to market its products – and 90 percent of it is devoted to in-store advertising.
Tobacco-free Worksites
The workplace is a major source of exposure to secondhand smoke and vapor from tobacco products including cigarettes and e-cigarettes.
Smoke-free Housing
Secondhand smoke/vapor drifts from neighboring apartments and creates unhealthy living conditions for everyone in the building.
Tobacco-free Outdoors
Exposure to secondhand smoke in outdoor recreational including parks, playgrounds and beaches can be hazardous – especially for children.
Smoke-free Media
Teens consume more media than ever, watching an average of almost 11 hours of media in any given day and the media youth consume is often completely unregulated.
