A Smokefree Advocates Mission is to encourage youth to stay tobacco free and to support smokers who are trying to quit.
The Advocates Goals: - To launch programs to fight tobacco use at the local, regional and national levels. - To prevent youth smoking through educational programs. - To support those struggling from tobacco addiction to quit successfully. - To start youth programs, to defend themselves against tobacco advertising and peer pressure. - To put into place programs for physicians to take an active role with their smoking patients, encouraging them to quit.
