Survey Says…A Cassie Work Project

Last night I went to one of Cassie’s work events where they were presenting the results of some surveys and other projects like Photovoice that she had been working on related to youth access to tobacco in the Latino community. It was really interesting and I always feel like there needs to be more done to help the next generation not fall for the tobacco industry’s tactics to get youth hooked. Because let’s face it, if no kids ever started, they’d be out of business.

Cassie was the MC and helped with the introductions, welcome and closing. They had a lot of interesting data and ideas where to go from here regarding policies, like for example requiring a license to sell tobacco, not allowing children under 18 to sell, not selling flavored or loose tobacco singles, and advertising restrictions. They also had some interesting results about why people don’t view tobacco as a crisis or urgent issue even though it clearly is.

Overall, it was an interesting and different Wednesday night from the norm. Good job, Cassie!

P.S. They had enchiladas! Yum
