The Spit Tobacco Prevention Network (STOPN)
is a diverse group of agencies and individuals with varied perspectives,
experiences, and resources. STOPN
partners work together to incorporate spit tobacco initiatives into the
activities of their individual organizations. Focus is placed on public
and community education, health care professional education, public policy
issues, and research and information.
The STOPN plan
is designed to reduce spit tobacco use in Texas by providing education
at many levels via an integrated and coordinated approach. Unique in its
design, the Spit Tobacco Prevention Network believes that through integration
and collaboration spit tobacco’s negative economic impact and adverse
effects on Texans’ health can be reduced.
