Our Mission is to eliminate death and disease caused by tobacco use.

About Us

 

Clean Air for Everyone (CAFE) Johnson County celebrates its 12th anniversary in 2008!

The member-based, non-profit coalition was formed in 1996 by a group of citizens, parents, and local health advocates concerned with the increasing teen smoking rates. Since then, CAFE has been working to achieve our mission of eliminating death and disease from tobacco use. Our goals are to prevent youth tobacco use tobacco, help tobacco users quit, and educate the community about the harmful effects of secondhand smoke exposure.
