Tobacco Free Vigo (TFV) is a program of Chances And Services for Youth, funded by the Indiana Department of Health, Tobacco Prevention & Cessation. TFV’s mission is to mitigate the devastating consequences of tobacco use in our community by seeking to reduce youth tobacco use rates, adult tobacco use rates, and second-hand smoke exposure.

TFV’s efforts are fueled by the work of the Tobacco Free Vigo Coalition, a broad-based group of individuals and organizations representing diverse interests in the community that include health care, business, and education. The ongoing work of TFV and the Coalition include the following:

· Prevention Education – Partnering with local K-12 and post-secondary educators to empower youth and young adults to live tobacco-free lives.

· Tobacco Quitline Promotion – Helping health care providers, businesses, and organizations in the community make the best use of this free, evidence-based resource for helping people transition to tobacco-free living.

· Outreach – Working to include disparately affected populations, such as veterans, minorities, those with disabilities, and the LGBTQ community .

· Environmental Change – Promoting the universal benefits of tobacco-free environments in many arenas, including the workplace,  public spaces, and multi-unit housing.
