What is Tobacco Use Prevention Education (TUPE)?

  • TUPE is Chino Valley Unified School District’s tobacco education program to reduce tobacco use among students in Grades 6-12.
    TUPE Mission - The mission of Tobacco Use Prevention Education is to vigorously reduce the tobacco use among youths by:

    1. exposing tobacco industry tactics.
    2. creating a smoke-free environment at school and at home.
    3. providing smoking cessation referrals for students.
    4. using science-based, research-validated educational programs and strategies that address the four essential TUPE topics:
    • short and long term undesirable, physical, cosmetic, and social consequences or tobacco use
    • reasons adolescents say they smoke, vape, use tobacco, or cannabis.
    • peer norms and social influences that promote tobacco use
    • refusal skills for resisting social influences that promote tobacco or cannabis use.
    For further information on how our efforts are helping our youth to refrain from tobacco use, please call Jenny Mott, RN, MSN ♦ (909) 628-1201, ext. 8918
