Tobacco Prevention and Control Program

en español

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.
