Tobacco Use Prevention Education (TUPE)
Empowering students to make informed decisions through prevention and education.
Tobacco Use Prevention Education (TUPE) is a state-funded program in California designed to reduce tobacco use among young people. The program educates students about the dangers of tobacco products, including emerging products marketed directly to them. Through engaging instruction and activities, students develop the knowledge and social skills needed to resist these risks and make healthier choices.
