Tobacco-Free Action Communities

Tobacco Free Action Communities in Ulster, Dutchess and Sullivan (formerly SmokeFree Dutchess and Tobacco Free Action Coalition of Ulster) is part of a network of statewide partners working to support New York State's tobacco-free goal. Each partner consists of a community engagement component and a youth action component (branded as Reality Check). Partners work to:

  • Reduce the negative impact of tobacco product marketing and price promotions on youth and adults at the point of sale.

  • Increase the number of local laws and voluntary policies that prohibit tobacco use in outdoor areas.

  • Decrease secondhand smoke exposure in multi-unit housing, with an emphasis on policies that protect the health of low-income residents.

  • Promote policies that reduce tobacco use imagery in youth-rated movies, and on the Internet and social media.
