John,

We'd like you to meet our 2022 Youth Advocates of the Year, whose passion and leadership will help make the next generation tobacco-free! They were recognized last week at our Youth Advocates of the Year Awards and 25th Anniversary Celebration in Washington, D.C.

BARRIE FISKE NATIONAL YOUTH ADVOCATE OF THE YEAR

Agamroop Kaur
San Ramon, CA

Agamroop’s advocacy work began in middle school when she noticed that every bathroom smelled like a candy store and many of her classmates were already hooked on Juul e-cigarettes. She made it her mission to educate her peers about the dangers of vaping and to stop the tobacco industry from targeting her generation.
