OUR STRATEGIES
The Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition was built to expand relationships with potential partners in the community, explore mutual interests, and connect with the people from various backgrounds and interests with a common mindfulness to make Wabash County Healthier through tobacco control.
A team has been developed to best represent Wabash County with the task of making planned efforts that are more representative of the County.
Consider yourself to be
part of this team.
This diverse team brings together educators, healthcare professionals, civic leaders, youth advocates, and concerned citizens, each contributing unique perspectives and expertise to the Coalition’s efforts. By fostering open dialogue and inclusiveness, the group ensures that every voice is heard and valued in shaping strategies tailored to the unique needs of Wabash County. Through ongoing collaboration and community engagement, the Coalition strives to create sustainable initiatives that address both the immediate and long-term health challenges posed by tobacco use.
The MISSION of the Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition is to prevent tobacco use, protect residents from secondhand smoke, shift cultural attitudes, support quit efforts, prevent youth initiation, and uphold laws that reduce public harm from tobacco and e-cigarettes.
The VISION of the Coalition is to significantly improve the health of Hoosiers in Wabash County by being free from nicotine addiction and exposure from any tobacco products.
Our PURPOSE:
• Prevent and reduce the use of all tobacco products in Wabash County.
• Protect all Hoosiers from the exposure of tobacco smoke through education about the dangers of
secondhand and third hand smoke and reducing its exposure to the public.
• Change the cultural perception and social acceptability of tobacco use.
• Provide easy access, resources and information on the Indiana Quit Line.
• End the initiation of tobacco use to Wabash County youth.
• Assist tobacco & e-cigarette users with nicotine dependance treatment.
• Support the enforcement of tobacco laws concerning the sale to youth, youth using any form
of tobacco product, and public exposure to secondhand smoke.
We are always looking for ways to enlarge the base of support and bring additional resources to
the tobacco control efforts.
