Tobacco Prevention & Control Programs
Weeks Medical Center works with the New Hampshire Tobacco Prevention and Control Program to achieve its goals:
- Prevent youth from starting the use of tobacco
- Promote quitting among tobacco users
- Eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke
- Prioritizing efforts to reach those populations most affected by tobacco use
