Tobacco Control Project -
As a result of the Tobacco Settlement Funds being available, the Bucks County Intermediate Unit #22 is a partner
with the Bucks County Tobacco Control Project (a program of the Health Promotion Council).
The Bucks County Intermediate Unit #22 promotes a working relationship with school administrators and
teachers to support, develop and implement tobacco-free policies, tobacco prevention curricula and tobacco
cessation programs. The Intermediate Unit provides teachers in Bucks County's public and non-public schools with
the opportunity to preview and order materials to complement classroom tobacco education. Funding can be provided
to school districts for the implementation and training of research-based curriculums such as Project Alert, Life
Skills, and TAR WARS. Schools can also be provided with Teen Cessation programs at their
schools for students looking for assistance with nicotine dependence. Ron Rolon coordinates these
programs.
