POW’R Against Tobacco is a community partnership coalition made up of organizations and private citizens who live or work in Putnam, Orange, Westchester and Rockland counties. POW’R Against Tobacco is dedicated to reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease and other tobacco related illnesses by lowering the prevalence of tobacco use, advertising, sponsorship and promotion through education, media and advocacy. Our goal is to implement strategies and programs that will decrease the social acceptability of tobacco use.

Funded through a grant from the New York State Department of Health Tobacco Control Program, POW’R Against Tobacco is one of 29 community partnerships across New York State dedicated to making each community a healthier place to live, work and play.
