Local Initiatives
Tobacco Free Putnam and SWAT work with the school district and community stakeholders to educate on the harms of using tobacco or nicotine products, in efforts to reduce youth vaping. It is also our goal to reduce exposure to dangerous secondhand smoke and vapor among our children by advocating for city, county and municipality ordinances for smoke and vape free parks. Our tobacco treatment specialists with Suwannee River AHEC promote and teach our free virtual and in-person cessation classes.
