The Tobacco Environmental Coalition (TEC) works to prevents and reduces the illegal and harmful use of tobacco products in communities across Texas by promoting and conducting community-based environmental prevention strategies that have an impact on the social, cultural, political and economic processes of the community. Coalitions broaden support for community projects and increase credibility, provide volunteers for activities, and maximize the power of participating groups through joint action. Coalitions are especially important when engaging in broad community actions to change public policy.
Our Coalition will include activities that increase the number of organizations and individuals involved in planning education and training programs, use State and local counter-marketing campaigns to place pro-health messages on tobacco control and promote the adoption of public and private tobacco control policies through worksite consultations.
We will implement steps of the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) in a targeted municipality to mobilize The Coalition, develop a strategic plan, implement evidence-based strategies, and evaluate activities that are designed to address the elimination of exposure to secondhand smoke in the target community.
