Smoke-Free Environments Law Project

National Center for Tobacco-Free Older Persons
The National Center for Tobacco-Free Older Persons (NCTFOP), created by and an integral part of The Center for Social Gerontology (TCSG), is dedicated to redressing and mitigating the physical and emotional harm to older persons caused by the actions of the tobacco industry. The NCTFOP will serve as a national advocate for and source of information on tobacco and older persons issues, as well as a center for conducting research, education and training to increase public awareness of the effects of tobacco on older persons and to reduce smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke by older persons.
