This is accomplished by developing projects that change the social and cultural norms related to tobacco use in the community, particularly among youth, and to institutionalize community support for the elimination of tobacco use. The Project staffs the Tobacco Prevention Coalition, and works with other tobacco prevention advocates in accomplishing its goals. Our successes include a youth mobilization initiative, TIGHT (Tobacco Industry Gets Hammered By Teens) and the passage of our Tobacco-Free Youth Ordinance (TFYO), which eliminates tobacco self-service displays and limits tobacco advertising.
