South Central Alliance
for Tobacco Prevention

The South Central Alliance for Tobacco Prevention serves Adams, Juneau, and Sauk counties by working to prevent commercial tobacco use among youth, eliminate secondhand smoke, and support local and state policies that encourage commercial tobacco prevention. By partnering with diverse coalition members and organizations we strive to empower our communities to holistically support its residents. We do this through meetings with state and local leaders, media opportunities, education & advocacy, and community training.
