Half of all cancers are caused by obesity and tobacco use. Oklahoma has some of the highest rates of tobacco use and obesity in the nation. TSET Healthy Living Program (HLP) is designed to prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease by preventing and reducing tobacco use and obesity on a local level.


HLP seeks to lessen the burden of unhealthy behaviors before they take root. HLP staff works to target three behaviors: tobacco-use, poor nutrition, and lack of physical activity. Check out our impact!
