Community Anti-Tobacco Tool Kit

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) is making available a community outreach tool kit for parenting tobacco-free Hispanic youth. The new resource is Sabemos: Por respeto – Aquí no se fuma: Community Outreach Tool Kit. The campaign is designed to help community leaders heighten awareness among Hispanic parents who have recently arrived in the United States (less than two years) about secondhand smoke and how it can affect them and their children. In addition, the campaign educates and empowers parents on practical steps they can take to achieve a smoke-free environment for their children. The tool kit and separate parenting materials for the consumer can be ordered or downloaded at no cost.
