Florida Statute 381.84 created The Comprehensive Tobacco Education and Use Prevention program that requires the Florida Department of Health fund a program that focuses on tobacco use by youth. This three day meeting is to better organize the Students Working Against Tobacco (SWAT) program and develop vision and mission statements for the program that align with CDC best practices as set forth in Best Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs 2007. There will be workshops, presentations, and training sessions about youth tobacco prevention. Youth with chaperones from all 67 counties will participate. Members of the Florida Tobacco Education and Use Prevention Advisory Council and local Department of Health tobacco staff may participate.
