Tobacco-free resources
CVS Health remains the only national retail pharmacy to end the sale of tobacco products. We are also committed to helping people lead tobacco free lives. Through our company and the CVS Health and Aetna Foundations, we’ve invested $55 million since 2016, through an initiative we call #BeTheFirst, which aims to help deliver the nation’s first tobacco-free generation.
As part of our initiative, we have invested in tobacco-free resources for students, parents, teachers, clinicians schools and youth organizations. These tools and curricula cover topics including the dangers of tobacco, e-cigarette use, healthy behaviors, and advocacy training. Below is a list of key resources to leverage:
