LAKE COUNTY – The Lake County Tobacco Control Program is seeking community members to serve on the Tobacco Control Coalition.

Coalition members, who will serve for 30 months, will coordinate efforts to educate county residents about the dangers of exposure to second-hand smoke and participate in legislative activities at local and state levels.

Applicants should have a desire to affect change in societal norms regarding tobacco use, eliminating exposure to harmful chemicals in second-hand smoke, and helping to stop youth access to tobacco products. Non-smokers, previous smokers and current smokers are encouraged to apply.

The first scheduled meeting of the Coalition will be on Feb. 14 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Lake Family Resource Center, 896 Lakeport Blvd. in Lakeport. A light Valentine’s Day lunch will be served.

If you are interested in serving on the LCTCP Tobacco Coalition, please call Michael Rupe, program director, at 262-1611, Extension 118.
