YOUR VOICE AT THE STATE HOUSE AND BEYOND
One of the most critical aspects of our work is being able to share your stories. Playing politics on these issues is nothing without the real life
scenarios and people who are affected by tobacco and nicotine use - putting a "face" to the issue. We are looking for folks who quit smoking due to/in part to the increase in the price of
cigarettes, and/or with help from a cessation program through Tobacco Control Program; parents who have youth who began using "little cigars" or other tobacco products, or who discovered those
mints aren't just mints (but tobacco products!); doctors, residents, nurses who have first hand experience with the medical issues associated with the use of these products; etc.
Simply: We Need You! Tell us your stories, or help bring other's stories to us. Contact Karina at RITCN today to share your story. kwood@lungne.org, 401-533-5179. |
