NSTEP

Oral Health America’s National Spit Tobacco Education Program (NSTEP) was founded in 1994 as an effort to educate the baseball family and the American public about the dangers of smokeless or spit tobacco, and break the long-standing link between this potentially deadly drug and America's pastime. Each year, anywhere from 10 to 16 million Americans put their health at risk by using spit tobacco products. The National Spit Tobacco Education Program's mission is to prevent people, especially young people, from starting to use spit tobacco, and to help all users quit. NSTEP is funded in part by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

In Texas, NSTEP’s partners include the Texas A&M University System, Texas Cooperative Extension, Texas A&M University System Health Science Center, Baylor College of Dentistry, School of Rural Public Health, Texas Department of Health, Office of Tobacco Prevention and Control / Texas Comprehensive School Health Network
