These kind of voluntary policies are one of the best ways to support tobacco cessation and create a tobacco-free social norm.
We offer assistance and resources supporting smoke-free multi-unit housing policies.
Over 90% of Nebraskans want to live in a smoke-free home, including renters. If you own or manage properties, TFLC can develop and support a plan to transition your community to become smoke-free.

We educate youth, adults, and families on preventing tobacco and nicotine vape use in the first place.

We also share resources with parents and other adults who interact with youth on identifying possible signs of e-cigarette use and how to be of help.
