The Walton County Tobacco Free Florida Partnership envisions a Walton County where all residents have a fair chance at a healthy future—free from nicotine addiction. Our mission is to mobilize the community and advance local policies that will help end nicotine addiction, protect children, and improve public health for generations to come.
Students Working Against Tobacco (SWAT) mobilizes and equips youth to protect their generation from the tobacco and vaping industries. Walton County SWAT members build leadership skills and plan activities to help raise awareness and support for policies that benefit the community.
