The use of tobacco can greatly interfere with a child's ability to learn. However, while young children may be exposed to tobacco, either from their parents or their peers, it can be difficult to get them to stay away from the harmful drug. Placer County Office of Education offers the Tobacco Use Prevention Education (TUPE) program to educate our youth on the dangers of using tobacco and how it can lead to many negative outcomes in life. The program aims to reduce tobacco use among youths in Placer County by supporting local school districts. Aside from using tobacco, the program also focuses on encouraging other healthy lifestyle choices for kids. Below you will find more details about our program, including documents, resources, and who to contact for more information.
