Watch this conversation w/ Vox on health disparities, and listen to this podcast on how parents can make a difference.

John,

As our nation confronts COVID-19 and the shocking health inequality it has exposed, we wanted to share some of our recent activities to highlight the role of tobacco use in addressing these challenges.

Health experts warn that smoking and vaping can increase risk of life-threatening complications from COVID-19. Black, Hispanic and low-income communities are especially at risk because of longstanding health disparities that have made them more vulnerable to this pandemic.

Learn more from our recent conversation with Vox, featuring our president Matt Myers and experts from the American Medical Association, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and Bloomberg Philanthropies:

In addition, we joined the Parents Against Vaping e-cigarettes (PAVe) podcast to explain why the fight against tobacco use may be at an inflection point – and why parents’ voices could make all the difference:

I hope you find these conversations helpful – and that you're staying safe.

Sincerely,
