Program Information

Tehama County Tobacco Education Program is a program funded by the California Tobacco Prevention Program (CTPP) which is a program of the California Department of Public Health. CTPP has been a leader in tobacco prevention for over 30 years, working immensely on keeping tobacco out of the hands of youth, helping tobacco users quit, and supporting the right for everyone to be able to live, work and play in tobacco free environments.

The Tobacco Education Program works in several jurisdictions throughout Tehama County to advance local policy, systems, and environmental changes to reduce the exposure to tobacco’s harmful effects. The Tobacco Education Program is made possible by funds received from the California Department of Public Health, under contract #CTCP-21-52.
