Tobacco and Nicotine Prevention

The Pueblo Tobacco Education and Prevention Partnership (PTEPP) Program provides education on tobacco- and nicotine-related information. We do this through educating the community on the negative health impacts that are associated with tobacco and nicotine products, and how those health impacts negatively impact certain populations more than other populations. PTEPP also provides prevention measures to the community such as presentations, tobacco-free signs, policy measures, and programs like Second Chance.
