Tobacco Education Program

updated: 12/21/2022

The Inyo County Tobacco Education Program is funded by the California Tobacco Control Program. We provide community education surrounding Tobacco* Control policies, help youth build leadership skills through coalition work and provide cessation resources and referrals for the community.

The Tobacco Education Program’s major goals and strategies are to:

engage more young adults in coalition meetings and activities through outreach and communication,
to involve more youth and adults in tobacco control work in the southern part of the county,
to engage the business community, particularly in the City of Bishop, as stakeholders and advocates for a smoke-free Eastern Sierra,
to collaborate with alcohol prevention and nutrition education partners in encouraging adoption of health-promoting practices in our local stores,
to promote evidence-based tobacco cessation classes and the service of Kick It California
and to educate the public about the availability and cheap price of flavored tobacco products that are enticing to youth.

*Tobacco refers to commercial tobacco products

Quit Vaping App

Quitting vaping can be hard - we get it. Whether you’re trying to quit for the first time or you’ve been there before, the most important thing is to keep trying! And it wouldn’t hurt to have some help along the way. That’s where No Vape comes in.

No Vape was created by Kick It California, a stop vaping service and research-based program at the University of California, San Diego. Our program has been helping people with behavior change since 1992, using clinically proven methods. Our app has features that will help you prepare to quit and stay quit, with strategies you can get right from the palm of your hand.
