Northwest Arkansas Tobacco And Drug Free Coalition

Northwest Arkansas Tobacco And Drug Free Coalition In 2013, the Northwest Arkansas Tobacco Free Coalition was awarded a Drug Free Communities Grant. Join us as we map out the future for a healthier community.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for Arkansans by mitigating the health and economic impact of alcohol, tobacco and drug usage through education, prevention, cessation, and public policy. This allowed the NWATFC to expand its scope, from tobacco alone, to also encompass drug and alcohol abuse among youth in Washington County, Arkansas. At this point the Northwest Arkansas Tobacco Free

Coalition became the Northwest Arkansas Tobacco and Drug Free Coalition. The purpose of the NWATDFC is to strengthen and establish community ties and reduce the abuse of drugs and alcohol among the youths of Washington County, Arkansas. Our original organization, The Northwest Arkansas Tobacco Free Coalition still serves Benton and Washington Counties by working toward the elimination of exposure to second-hand smoke, reducing tobacco advertising and promotion targeted toward youth, as well as reducing youth access to tobacco products and liking people to cessation programs to help them stop smoking. NWATDFC and our community partners believe the key to reducing the tobacco, drug and alcohol burdens in Arkansas is through local efforts. Therefore, it is our hope that with continued collaboration together, we can make an impression on these paramount social and health issues.
