Tobacco Free Florida

In Florida, Big Tobacco spends more than $551.8 million in marketing. Why so much? They see it as an investment to help replace the people that die from smoking...1,300 people a day.

And guess who they're trying to replace them with? Teens. Or as one tobacco executive calls them, "replacement smokers". Did you know that 9 out of 10 current smokers started in their teens. Most of them believing they would never become addicted.

So it’s important to know the truth about tobacco and FIGHT BACK!

Stand Up and Take Action. Join SWAT today!

SWAT is Florida's statewide youth organization working to mobilize, educate and equip Florida youth to revolt against and de-glamorize Big Tobacco. SWAT is a united movement of empowered youth working towards a tobacco free future.

There's a group of people on one side selling a product (cigarettes, cigars, electronic vapor products, chewing tobacco, and more) that some teens are using. Those products are highly addictive and many teens that begin using them are never able to quit. On the other side, groups like SWAT and Tobacco Free Florida, are working to make sure as many teens as possible never start using tobacco.
