Tobacco Cessation and Prevention Program Funding
Tobacco Cessation & Prevention Grant Program (TCPP)
The State of New Mexico Indian Affairs Department (IAD) is focused on building Tribal capacity to implement culturally appropriate tobacco cessation and prevention initiatives that recognize the unique ceremonial uses of tobacco while reducing the use of commercial tobacco use and its harmful effects.
IAD received an appropriation from the New Mexico Legislature for Tobacco Cessation and Prevention Programs. This is funded out of the Tobacco Settlement Fund and is used to fund direct tobacco cessation and prevention campaigns in Native American communities.

Proposals should articulate a project plan and establish a budget that appropriately aligns with that plan.
HONOR TRADITION, NOT ADDICTION
IAD launched a campaign as part of the Tobacco Cessation & Prevention Project (TCPP).
Tobacco is a sacred medicine in our communities, meant for prayer, ceremonies and respect – not addiction.
In our Native communities, tobacco holds deep meaning. It’s not meant to harm – it’s meant to heal. But today, too many Native youth are targeted by commercial tobacco and vaping products.
FACT: Native youth have some of the highest commercial tobacco rates in the country.
This campaign is meant to provide positive reinforcement and imagery for youth and Native communities to identify healthy and unhealthy uses of commercial tobacco.
