Tobacco Free
The Saint Florian Center Tobacco Free Partnership is dedicated to educating the community on the harmful affects of tobacco products, and provides opportunities to obtain free cessation classes and resources. 
Our goal is to:
1. Decrease the overall cigarette smoking rate in Indiana
2. Decrease the current cigarette smoking rates among middle and high school students
3. Decrease the percent of babies born to mothers who smoked during pregnancy
4. Increase the number of individuals who have access to a smoking cessation program
