Toolkit Disclaimer

We have been informed that some companies that are in the business of selling products that contain tobacco and/or nicotine had either included links to our Toolkit in their marketing materials, or implied that The Stanford Tobacco Prevention Toolkit or the faculty and staff involved in creating it have some affiliation with them. This is simply not true.  We are committed to preventing use of tobacco products, e-cigarettes, and any other tobacco- and nicotine-related products and we do not receive any funding from them or otherwise collaborate with them.
