Tobacco Prevention Program
The Tobacco Prevention offers:
A 10-Hour Electronic Vapor Products (ENDS) Course for School Personnel
A 10 CEU Course for School Nurses
A 30-point Tobacco Prevention Course for Educators
A 60-point Comprehensive Tobacco Prevention Course for Educators
A 20 CEU Course for School Nurses
Student Courses for Students with Tobacco, Nicotine, and/or Vape Infractions
Adult courses focus on equipping participants with the knowledge that they need to provide tobacco and
nicotine prevention lessons to youth.
Youth courses are an alternative to suspension option to hold days in abeyance.
Implementation requirements for the adult courses:
• 30-and-60 Point Courses require four (4) tobacco prevention lessons.
• The 10-Hour and CEU EVP Course requires one (1) prevention lesson for instructional personnel or a
shared session for non-instructional personnel.
• There are currently no implementation requirements for the nurse’s course; however, they will
receive the latest information on all aspects of tobacco prevention, including ENDS by successfully
completing the course.
Courses for students focus on providing information about the health effects of tobacco, nicotine, and vaping.
Each course is approximately 3.5 hours long and is offered statewide for districts to use to hold suspension
days in abeyance.
Impact of the Tobacco Prevention Program in FY22:
• 8,352 students in 35 counties received prevention lessons from a teacher.
• 8,944 students registered for a student course, a 163% increase from FY21.
• 6,260 students in 50 counties completed the student course.
• 53 counties participated in one of the programs.
The 10-Hour and the 10 CEU ENDS courses are offered statewide through a grant from the Florida Department
of Education. The 30-Point, 60-Point, 20 CEU, and student courses are made possible through a Florida
Department of Health grant.
