Prevention Initiatives - Escambia County Health Department

SWAT is back! Already two high-schools, Pensacola High School and Northview High School, have teams fighting the social acceptability of tobacco. The program is giving a voice to the next generation.

As SWAT members, teenagers learn about the industry’s past and present marketing and advertising efforts and are informed of the current tobacco-related issues. The youth is also educated on planning advocacy events and taking part in social marketing efforts to change social norms.

The Florida Department of Health has a new tobacco use prevention and cessation website: Tobaccofreeflorida.com

There you will find facts about tobacco and information on upcoming events throughout the state.

The website also includes a form to contact the Florida QUITLINE for free phone cessation counseling and free Nicotine-replacement therapy (if qualified).

There is even a ‘I Care’ video contest to win a free iMac, iPods, and a chance to be selected for the On-Demand channels in certain Florida markets!
