Our Mission

To build partnerships that provide comprehensive tobacco prevention and treatment programs, and policies to reduce the medical, economic and emotional burdens that tobacco places on our community.

Background

The scope of the tobacco problem in Michigan demands the attention of community partners. In July 2000, Tobacco Free Partners began as a handful of concerned citizens and organizations that recognized the need for collaboration to comprehensively address the devastating impact tobacco has on all who live and work in West Michigan. TFP has grown into a collection of community stakeholders representing West Michigan hospitals, universities, healthcare providers, physicians, health plans, local businesses and national non-profit organizations as well as local coalitions and advocacy groups.

Testimonial

"I started smoking in 1951 at the age of 7 years. Both my parents were heavy smokers. I had been smoking for over 50 years when I attended a Tobacco Free For Good class. At the time I was smoking three packs of cigarettes a day. I became a non-smoker on November 11, 2001. Tobacco Free For Good empowers you and gives you the tools to become a free person and a winner.
