Don’t Let Nicotine Harm Your Health

Nicotine use often starts early, and it can lead to lifelong health problems. Helping people stay nicotine-free protects their health, supports their goals, and builds stronger communities. NUPAC has developed programs that work with schools, families, and local partners across New Mexico to make sure you have easy access to the tools, support, and information you need to get involved and make healthy choices.

New Mexico high school students are already taking the lead in promoting a nicotine-free future.

New Mexico public schools have a tobacco-free policy in place to support healthier learning environments.

New Mexico rental homes are covered by a smoke-free policy to keep people and families safe.

Change Starts Here

Helping young people avoid nicotine takes more than one approach. That’s why NUPAC supports programs that work in schools, communities, and local businesses, and include young people in the process. These efforts give youth real tools and support to make healthier choices now and into the future.
