SmokeFree Dutchess was created to reduce the risk of tobacco related morbidity and mortality by lowering the prevalence of tobacco use in Dutchess County and by eliminating environmental tobacco smoke in public places. SmokeFree Dutchess, funded by a grant from the NYS Department of Health, originated in 1995 as the Tobacco Free Action Coalition (TFAC).		Check out these resources to help you to create a plan that best suits your needs and lifestyle.
TFAC covered Dutchess, Orange, and Ulster counties. In order to serve area residents more effectively, each county created its own coalition to serve the community. SmokeFree Dutchess was born!
