The Tobacco Prevention and Control Program (TPCP) works to reduce deaths and prevent chronic diseases that result from tobacco use. TPCP strives to improve the health of Missourians by promoting and supporting tobacco-free environments and lifestyles. TPCP and its partners promote and implement tobacco control interventions, including actions to prevent youth from starting to use tobacco-related products, increase access to smoke/tobacco-free environments, offer programs to help tobacco users quit, and take steps to achieve health equity by eliminating tobacco-related health disparities in different population groups.
