Northwest Iowa Tobacco Free Coalition (NWITFC) Tobacco Use Prevention

Northwest Iowa Tobacco Free Coalition has four goals:

  1. Prevent tobacco use by the youth.
  2. Promote cessation.
  3. Eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke.
  4. Establish and maintain a tobacco control community coalition.

To promote and protect the health of Lyon, O’Brien, Osceola and Sioux County, we are committed to stop tobacco use because tobacco kills.
