Manufacturers of e-cigarettes and other nicotine products were using synthetic nicotine to exploit a regulatory loophole and keep selling the types of sweet and fruity flavored products that ignited the youth vaping epidemic that continues today. Fortunately, that loophole is closing. Here are important things to know.
Newly published Truth Initiative research finds that teachers and administrators who worked in schools with e-cigarette policies and reported receiving training on those policies had higher odds of recognizing e-cigarettes and intervening on student e-cigarette use compared to those without policies and training.
Truth Initiative is calling for a comprehensive set of policies to curb tobacco depictions on screens. Because each area is governed in different ways, learn why Truth Initiative recommends separate measures for movies, TV and streaming, music videos and video games, all based on the same core ideas.
If you or someone you know is looking to effect change, join the fight against the forces and impacts of addiction to establish tobacco- and vape-free communities. The truth Ambassador program is a year-long, paid, leadership program for one of the most successful public health campaigns in history. Consider applying today.
