Community based approach

Through a community-based approach, We Breathe seeks to empower individuals to take action and quit smoking for good. The program educates individuals about the harm of tobacco and the impacts of second and third-hand smoke.

We deliver locally appropriate programs and activities that aim to:

  • Engage community members in tobacco cessation activities.
  • Raise awareness in communities about the health impacts of second hand and third hand smoke.
  • Encourage and support non-smokers to avoid uptake
  • Improve access to culturally appropriate quit services
  • Encourage and support smokers to quit
  • Supporting communities to be smoke-free homes, workplaces and public spaces.
