Wisconsin Tobacco Prevention and Poverty Network
Advancing Equity. Reducing Harm.
Preventing Tobacco Use.
Key Partners and Collaborators
What We Do
WTPPN works to prevent tobacco use, reduce nicotine addiction, and eliminate tobacco-related disparities through:
Community
Engagement
We partner with local groups, faith-based organizations, housing networks, and service providers to bring tobacco prevention directly to the people most impacted.
Education
& Advocacy
From youth education campaigns to policy advocacy, we equip individuals and communities with the knowledge and tools to resist tobacco industry targeting and influence change.
Technical Support
& Training
We provide culturally responsive resources, training, and best practices to coalitions and professionals serving high-poverty areas.
Youth
Empowerment
We support youth-led efforts through statewide partnerships with movements like FACT, where young people become leaders in tobacco prevention.
WHY IT
MATTERS
Tobacco use remains a leading cause of preventable death—and disproportionately harms individuals living in poverty. WTPPN exists to interrupt this pattern by:
Challenging predatory marketing practices
Advocating for protective policies
Strengthening the voice of marginalized communities
Supporting systemic change for health equity
HOW WE WORK
Our network operates by:
Building Local Capacity
We amplify the efforts of grassroots groups and provide tools they need.
Collaborating Statewide
We serve as a hub for information-sharing, connecting coalitions across Wisconsin.
Centering Equity
Every initiative we lead is designed with a focus on racial, economic, and health equity.
Leveraging Data & Stories
We use both evidence and lived experience to shape more effective prevention strategies.
