We see history repeating itself with these new trendy tobacco products geared specifically to youth. They're not getting the message about those products and they're seeing them different than they see cigarettes.
Ever heard of a holiday dedicated to saying no to tobacco? In this episode of 'Your Bridge To Addiction Resources', Teresa Tieman Detweiler and Jennifer Kaucher from The Council On Chemical Abuse (COCA) dive into the world of 'Tobacco Holidays'. They shine a spotlight on Kick Butts Day, a national event in March aimed at empowering teens to reject tobacco.
But that's not all – they also discuss other significant dates like World No Tobacco Day in May and the Great American Smoke Out in November. These events are more than just dates on a calendar; they're opportunities for education and action. Teresa and Jennifer explore the rise of e-cigarettes among young adults and the crucial role of tobacco education in schools.
They share how COCA's initiatives, including their engaging mascot and student assistance programs, make a real difference in promoting community health. The episode also touches on the importance of senior smoking cessation, emphasizing that tobacco education is a lifelong journey. If you're passionate about tobacco prevention and want to learn how you can contribute to healthier communities, this episode is a must-listen.
Join Teresa and Jennifer for an engaging discussion that could inspire you to take action in your own community.
