Welcome to the Tobacco Free Weld County website! Inside you will find resources about how to quit tobacco, information on the dangers of secondhand smoke to you and your family and pets, why prevention makes sense to help kids from starting tobacco and what to do about the inequality of tobacco burdens for certain members of our community.
We have a very active and productive coalition called the Tobacco Free Coalition of Weld County that works on a variety of policies and initiatives to decrease the problem in our county. Please see the calendar for upcoming events and meetings. We hope that this website will serve all of your needs and please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
