Program Components

TFL cultivates regional tobacco prevention and control initiatives throughout the state and improves the ability of local communities to promote tobacco control from within. This is primarily done through TFL’s nine Regional Coordinators, nine Regional Cancer and Tobacco Prevention and Control Coalitions, Community Program Grants and the Louisiana Public Health Institute’s (LPHI) Center for Community Capacity trainings.

Community Program Grants are part of TFL’s broad-reaching effort to engage non-traditional partners in the statewide campaign to reduce youth tobacco use, bring attention to the tobacco industry’s deceptive marketing tactics and raise awareness of the health effects of secondhand smoke exposure. The work that the grantees do in their local communities is vital to the success of the statewide program, and TFL is committed to these local programs by providing training, technical assistance and resources.
