1 Kings County Tobacco-Free Partnership Creating a Tobacco-Free Kings County Bringing the Community Together Almost everyone in our community has been affected or has seen the effects of tobacco on a family member, friend or co worker. Tobacco kills more Americans than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, suicide, illegal drugs and fires combined. By working together, we can combine our efforts to reduce the impact of tobacco in Kings County. The Kings County Tobacco Free Partnership is committed to promoting a tobacco free environment through prevention, education, encouragement of public policy, and broad based community support for tobacco prevention activities. We Need You! Where do you fit in? The Kings County Tobacco Free Partnership is always in need of assistance. Members are responsible for perpetuating the coalition and for fulfilling the purpose and objectives of our grant including: overseeing all activities carried out in the name of the coalition; attending regular meetings and trainings; participating in community events; providing support of local community initiatives. If you would like to help us work toward a tobacco free generation, please contact us today at (559) History Since 1991, when it was called the Healthier Kings Coalition, the community coalition has worked to bring together a diverse group of concerned community members to enhance the welfare of residents by reducing exposure to secondhand smoke, countering tobacco s influence in the community, reducing youth access to tobacco and providing quit smoking classes. The coalition and program are funded by Proposition 99, the Tobacco Tax Initiative of 1988, through a grant from the California Department of Health Services. Work Plan Objectives Smoke Free Policies Multi Unit Housing The Kings County Tobacco Free Partnership will increase in membership diversity Implement data collection related to the statewide Retail Environment Campaign of all tobacco retail stores within Kings County, including but not limited to questions on price, flavors, discounts/promotions, and storefront advertising.
