Due to heavy tobacco industry targeting – particularly with menthol cigarettes – Black Americans suffer disproportionate health burdens related to tobacco use. Generations of families have dealt with the grave consequences of smoking, which is the number one cause of preventable death in the Black community and claims 45,000 Black lives each year.
During this virtual event, we will bring together a panel of healthcare professionals, community activists, faith leaders and youth advocates for an important, timely discussion about the multigenerational mental and physical health concerns of Black families – and the role that tobacco use plays. Join us for this important conversation >>
Sincerely, |
