SmokeFree Wisconsin Becomes Health First Wisconsin to take on additional health issues

re:THNK is thrilled and encouraged that SmokeFree Wisconsin, the organization that lead Wisconsin in its drive to eliminate smoking in workplaces, greatly reduce teen smoking in Wisconsin, and dramatically reduce the impact of tobacco on Wisconsin's health, is expanding its efforts and will work alongside us to combat the deadly addiction promoted by the tobacco industry.

“SmokeFree Wisconsin and their partners have been working hard on tobacco prevention and control for years and have had much success. The unique niche SmokeFree Wisconsin has developed will greatly advance our work on tobacco prevention and control to help individuals make healthy choices in their communities.

“Health First Wisconsin’s prevention-focused mission to promote nutrition and physical activity, combat tobacco use and prevent alcohol abuse will move Wisconsin forward not only by improving the health of those who live, work and play in this state but also by saving Wisconsinites money.”
