Break Free Alliance will be hosting a three-part webinar series in February
2012 to discuss and encourage dialogue among partners working to address tobacco
use among homeless and formerly homeless populations.In 2009, Break Free
Alliance facilitated an expert panel to discuss tobacco use in homeless
populations in order to develop and share recommendations on strategies to best
address tobacco use in this population (view recommendations here).

expert panel and to share new successes, challenges and promising practices with
