STATEWIDE COALITION

The Coalition for a Tobacco Free Louisiana (CTFLA) is a network of non-profit, state, and private organizations with a shared vision to prevent tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke.

The mission of the Coalition is to decrease the negative impact of tobacco use on the health of our communities by advocating for policies that prevent tobacco use, protect the health of non-smokers and promote tobacco-free lifestyles.

The Coalition aims to strengthen policies that protect against the harmful effects of tobacco and encourage smoke-free living. The Coalition is housed at the Louisiana Public Health Institute, which serves as its administrative home.
