Cochise County is an educated healthy tobacco-free community.

Vision

To encourage and support healthy lifestyles and habits among Cochise County residents through education, service, and advocacy by:

• Strengthening limitations on tobacco products and sales to youth
• Advising youth on tobacco harms and tobacco industry tactics
• Inspiring community members to act

What We Do

• Become trained peer leaders
• Engage in planning meetings
• Attend health-based training events
• Plan youth health events
• Develop presentation messages

Youth coalition members promote tobacco prevention messages to their peers, focus on community-wide policy change and assist at school and community events. Tobacco Vendor Compliance Checks are otherwise known as Counter Strike Youth work alongside the Attorney General's Office to conduct checks at any tobacco vendor throughout the county.

Join Youth Health Coalition

Calling on all high school and middle school students, we are looking for motivated, driven, and passionate young minds who can lead Cochise County to a healthier and tobacco-free environment.

Meetings are on a regular basis. A new schedule is coming soon for virtual and in-person meetings.
