Promoting Smoke-Free Families Collaborative

The Contra Costa County Promoting Smoke-Free Families (PSFF) Collaborative, funded by Contra Costa First 5, brings together community partners committed to working with families, childcare providers and others to create smoke-free environments for all children, especially those 0-5 years of age. We do this through collaborative activities.

Information in multiple languages, providing suggestions for creating smoke-free environments for children, is also available. In addition, tobacco cessation resources for Contra Costa are available.
