TOBACCO USE CONTROL PROJECT (TUCP)

The Tobacco Use Control Project (TUCP) is a program within the Virginia Department of Health.

The TUCP provides training, information, materials and other mechanisms to support the implementation of policies to help Virginians choose and maintain tobacco-free lifestyles.
