We have been working on policies and strategies that prevent initiation. We work to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke.
Youth e-cigarette use is a growing concern, and in this episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev invites Andrew Romero to share his expertise. As the Director of the Geographic Health Equity Alliance at CADCA, Romero brings a wealth of knowledge about effective public health strategies to combat this epidemic. He introduces the concept of the 'Vaccine', which includes price increases, smoke-free policies, media campaigns, and access to cessation programs.
These tactics have been proven to reduce tobacco use, and Romero explains how they can be adapted to address the surge in youth e-cigarette use. Romero doesn't stop there; he also highlights the specific challenges faced by African-American and Latinx youth, emphasizing the need for compassionate support rather than punitive measures. He sheds light on how the tobacco industry uses retail strategies and discounting to target young people and discusses the importance of regulating these products.
The conversation takes a timely turn as they explore the impact of COVID-19 on youth e-cigarette use, stressing the need for innovative and supportive approaches. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in public health, youth advocacy, or tobacco prevention.
