The DSHS Tobacco Prevention and Control Branch (TPCB) is
determined to reduce the toll of tobacco on the health, safety, and well-being
of Texans. Our goals are:
- To keep young Texans from ever starting tobacco use.
- Supporting enforcement of tobacco laws.
- Helping more Texans to quit smoking and stay smoke-free.
- Eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke.
- Reducing tobacco use among high-risk populations.
- Developing and maintaining statewide capacity to support all of the above.
