SmokeFree Wisconsin, now known as Health First Wisconsin, is a grassroots organization dedicated to promoting effective tobacco control policies in the state. Their mission is to protect nonsmokers from secondhand smoke, prevent the initiation of smoking, especially among children, and ensure a well-funded, comprehensive statewide tobacco prevention program. They strive to improve health before the onset of disease and believe that everyone should have the opportunity to make choices that allow them to live a long, healthy life.
With a focus on reducing disease, disability, and death related to tobacco use, SmokeFree Wisconsin advocates for preventing tobacco use among young people, promoting quitting among both young people and adults, eliminating exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, and addressing disparities related to tobacco use among different population groups. They work to sustain state funding for tobacco control programs and advocate for smoke-free workplaces, restaurants, and bars to protect workers and patrons from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke.
