Out Wit, Out Play, Out Last By Wendy Hyde Ohio/Michigan Regional Director Preventing Tobacco Addiction Foundation Tobacco use has declined steadily among youth for years, but now e-cigarette use is up. At the same time, many communities have gotten behind one initiative to address the youth e-cigarette epidemic: Tobacco 21. At minimum, the Tobacco 21 movement seeks to raise the legal sales age for tobacco products to 21 years of age. Model policies include provisions for the monitoring, regulation, and enforcement of tobacco control policies as well as funding for these activities. In this keynote session, Wendy Hyde will review Ohio’s new Tobacco 21 policy. She’ll detail its strengths and limitations and provide strategies for building on its momentum. She’ll show you how to advocate for the strong enforcement and regulations Tobacco 21 needs to be successful. And she’ll show you how to outwit, outplay, and outlast the control, influence, and impact of the tobacco industry.

Join Us and Wendy at the Prevention Action & Advocacy Summit on Vaping Vulnerable Populations & E-Cigarettes By Megan Roberts Assistant Professor Ohio State University College of Public Health, Center for the Advancement of Tobacco Science The tobacco industry has a long history of advertising to young people. In 1973, R.J. Reynolds (which owns Camel cigarettes) wrote a memo that it needed to attract 14- to 24-year-olds to be successful. They were “tomorrow’s cigarette business.” Today, e-cigarettes have perfected advertising to youth with colorful ads on social media featuring young models. Megan Roberts, Ph.D., will describe the prevalence of e-cigarette use among youth and other vulnerable populations. She’ll show how tobacco companies target these groups with addictive products and identify which risk factors explain the high rate of e-cigarette use among these groups. About Megan Roberts Megan Roberts, PhD, is an Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University’s College of Public Health in the Center for the Advancement of Tobacco Science.
