Prevention
Taking steps to prevent children, youth, and young adults from starting to smoke or using chew tobacco. Prevention includes tobacco and health education, local youth action alliances and tobacco-industry de-normalization.

The Smoke Free Ontario Act (SFOA) requires all public places and enclosed worksites to be smoke-free. Through education we promote smoke-free homes, cars and other enclosed private spaces.
Cessation
