Rutland Area Prevention Coalition

Mobilizing the community in the prevention of substance abuse

through education and promotion of healthy lifestyle choices.

TEPCO

The Tobacco Education and Prevention Coalition (TEPCO), which is facilitated by RAP, meets monthly with the goal of providing education and services to facilitate tobacco control & cessation in our community.

One of TEPCO’s biggest priorities is to create environmental change within the community concerning tobacco use. The goal of the environmental change is to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke and to encourage individuals to quit smoking in an effort to make the community more healthy.

A current topic of concern for TEPCO is to ban smoking and tobacco use on city parks and playgrounds and within 50 feet of these properties when children under 18 are present and during city sponsored events.
