A healthier Suwannee County starts here.
Tobacco Free Suwannee is a community-led partnership working to protect residents from the harms of tobacco — through stronger policies, youth empowerment, and support for those who want to quit.
"Tobacco Free Suwannee is a community-led coalition — not a government program, not a health department initiative. We are neighbors, educators, business owners, parents, and youth working together because our community deserves better."

Our work is focused on lasting change — the kind that protects kids before they ever pick up a cigarette, and creates spaces where everyone can breathe clean air.
