UNDO

epartment of Public Health’s To***co Prevention Program (CTPP). CTPP has 30 years of success pushing back against the to***co industry’s damage because Californians deserve healthy lives, lower healthcare costs, to***co-free communities, and an environment free of the to***co industry's toxic secondhand smoke and product waste. Addressing to***co-related health inequities is key to California’s efforts to fight to***co, our state’s number one cause of preventable death and disease.
