 AIC has a Tobacco Prevention Specialist and a Prevention Assistant that work with pueblos to promote tobacco prevention cessation. The Prevention Specialist promote cultural awareness of

the Native traditional and ceremonial use of tobacco to strengthen cultural identity and resistance to commercial tobacco. Native youth are actively involved in tobacco prevention activities which include secondhand smoke. Native youth have designed native doll dresses and pouches to carry the 1-800 card. The focus is sacred vs. commercial tobacco. In addition, Native elders promote and help in Native storytelling that includes the history of different Native peoples.
