Today we are bringing you a blast from the past! In this episode we are featuring a live webinar from 2020 focused on youth vaping during COVID-19 and what experts have to say about the concerning research.
Our first speaker, Christopher Lam, CEO and President of the BC Lung Association will give an overview of vaping from across the province as well as touch on what programs and policies are happening now to address and prevent youth vaping.
Our second speaker, Annie Smith, Executive Director of McCreary Centre Society will talk about findings from the Youth-led Research Project about vaping: Clearing the Air.
Our final speaker, Art Steinmann, Manager of Supporting and Connecting Youth (SACY), Substance-Use Health Promotion Initiative Program from the Vancouver School Board will speak about what is happening in schools, policies and programs in place and how vaping is impacting youth.
