The Kansas Tobacco Use Prevention Program provides resources and assistance to state and local partners for development, enhancement and evaluation of state and local initiatives to prevent death and disease from tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure.

The program focuses on four priority areas: 1) Preventing the initiation of tobacco use among young people, 2) Promoting quitting among tobacco users of all ages, 3) Eliminating nonsmokers’ exposure to secondhand smoke, and 4) Identifying and eliminating disparities related to tobacco use and its effects among different population groups
