2019 Prevention Highlights
Submitted by Endalkachew.abebaw on Tue, 12/17/2019 - 07:57
Hi everyone,
As we're coming to the end of 2019 - what were some of your prevention related highlights for the year?
Here are mine:
- DBHR starting the fellowship program
- The Legislature passing HB 1074 - (Tobacco 21) Increasing the minimum legal age of sale of tobacco and vapor products to 21.
Looking forward to reading your responses :)
Best,

In 2019, the conversations around e-cigs and vaping have dramatically changed from being "a less harmful alternative to cigarettes" to now highlighting the “serious risks and negative health outcomes associated with use.” I am hopeful that these conversations and all the media coverage around this topic will show results in decreased usage in 2020!
I would say the addition of multiple CPWI communities to add to the mix and the fellowship program!
