Mary Cole, Local Nonprofit

The Greater Boston Tobacco-Free Community Partnership (TFCP) prioritizes racial justice and community health over tobacco and vaping industry profits. We work with local partners to fight the industry’s historic and unjust targeting of specific groups, including Black, LGBTQ+, and LatinX communities.

The TFCP collaborates with local partners to:​⁣

• Prevent youth from starting to use tobacco/nicotine*​⁣

• Protect everyone from secondhand smoke ​⁣

• Promote free resources to help people quit ​⁣

​⁣

Funded by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Tobacco Cessation and Prevention Program, the TFCP shares resources, educates, and mobilizes the community in support of local tobacco policy in the Greater Boston region.​⁣

​⁣

The Greater Boston Tobacco-Free Community Partnership is a program of Bay State Community Services in Quincy, MA.

*When referencing tobacco/nicotine, we are referring to commercial tobacco (vapes, cigarettes, cigars, etc.) and not the sacred and traditional use of tobacco by some American Indian communities​⁣.
