The Poe Center for Health Education, in partnership with Wake County Human Services and Wake County Public Schools, invites the Triangle community to ask: What if… we all had a tobacco-free community at the Tobacco-Free Community Forum.
1 in 5 high school students currently use a vape product – that’s about 6 in every classroom (North Carolina Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 2023). Youth tobacco use continues to be a health crisis.
The purpose of the Forum is to move the needle and make a healthy difference in the lives of Wake County residents.
Hosted at the Wake County Commons Building, this youth-led forum will feature a review of current trends and a discussion of action steps that youth, parents and community leaders can take to support tobacco-free and nicotine-free environments.
The forum will provide opportunities for youth, parents, and community members to hear about and participate in conversations about strategies that reduce youth tobacco use and to empower communities in the solution. Join us!
