Tobacco use, the nation's number one cause of preventable death, is a childhood-onset disease.  Magazine advertisements, movies, and retail marketing have shaped a youth culture that views tobacco as glamorous, social, grown-up, and rebellious.
 
To address this public health issue, the Arizona Department of Health Services Bureau of Tobacco Education and Prevention provides a comprehensive, innovative, and diverse campaign to prevent youth from beginning tobacco use.
 
Educating youth about the dangers of tobacco use:

School-based programs
       County Projects
       Tribal Projects 

Healthy Lifestyle Messaging
       Worksite

Community Outreach
Youth Media Campaign: Personal Foul
 
Reducing youth access to tobacco:
Office of the Attorney General - Compliance checks
Counter-Acts - Merchant Education Program
