Tobacco Reduction Action Coalitions (TRAC)
The Branch-Hillsdale Tobacco Reduction Action
Coalition works diligently to improve the health of
citizens by encouraging the reduction of tobacco
use.
The three major purposes of the
coalitions are:
-
Education: To inform
and educate the public about the hazards of
tobacco use. The coalitions serve as a
resource and provide access to tobacco-related
informational materials.
-
Prevention: To
develop and promote policies and procedures
which will encourage and assist county
residents to be tobacco free.
-
Empowerment: To
support statewide initiatives, propose local
ordinances and encourage law enforcement that
would restrict the marketing and sale of
tobacco products and thereby enhance the
health of the whole community.
