Tobacco use is a significant public health concern in Kansas, contributing to thousands of preventable deaths each year.

The health effects of using nicotine are widespread, leading to an increase in chronic conditions like heart disease, cancer, and stroke.

These illnesses reduce the quality of life for individuals and families, creating an added burden on our already strained healthcare system.

Kansas has the potential to become a healthier state by reducing tobacco use and supporting individuals and families in living tobacco-free lives.
