The Louisiana Campaign for Tobacco-Free Living works to implement and evaluate tobacco control initiatives that can reduce and prevent the use of tobacco, as well as eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke.
We’re guided by best practices in tobacco control as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as successful tobacco control programs in effect nationwide.
The Louisiana Cancer Research Center (LCRC) is a partner in Louisiana’s fight for tobacco-free living. By supporting a tobacco-free Louisiana, LCRC hopes to see the number of tobacco-related cancers in Louisiana will drop. Learn more about their efforts at LouisianaCancerCenter.org
