Smoking, Vaping and Your Health webinar with Tobacco Free Kids

It’s time to talk about something that affects the health of Latinx youth. E-cigarettes are the most commonly used tobacco product among Hispanic/Latino high school students (23.2%) and middle school students (13.1%). Tobacco companies are intentional with their advertising in low-income communities to make smoking appear appealing which then increases adolescents' desire to smoke. It is important to advocate for our family and communities.
