While overall rates of tobacco use among young people continue to decline, recent data shows that three million high school students and more than half a million middle school students use e-cigarettes. Complicating this challenge further is new research that shows a link between vaping and an increased risk for COVID-19 infections. On this episode of CVS Health Live, our expert panel from CVS Health's Be The First initiative explore efforts underway to address and prevent e-cigarette use among young people.
Moderated by Eileen Howard Boone, SVP, CSR & Philanthropy, CVS Health and President, CVS Health and Aetna Foundations, this episode will feature the following expert panelists: Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, Ph.D., Founder and Executive Director, Tobacco Prevention Toolkit; Robin Koval, CEO and President, Truth Initiative; and Susanne E. Tanski, M.D., M.P.H., FAAP, American Academy of Pediatrics, E-Cigarette Faculty Spokesperson.
