ABOUT US

For the United States, the epidemic of smoking-caused disease in the 20th century ranks among the greatest public health catastrophes in our history. Even with the dramatic progress our nation has made in reducing tobacco use over the past five decades, smoking & vaping still remains the leading preventable cause of disease and death.

The mission of the Nevada Tobacco Control & Smoke-free Coalition (NTCSC) is to improve the health of all Nevadans by advocating to eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke and vape emissions, expand access to cessation, and reduce commercial tobacco use.
