Down with Vaping!
Smoking contributes to the second-highest form of plastic pollution worldwide. Cigarette filters, smokeless tobacco, and e-cigarettes all contain microplastics, a growing environmental threat.
Our mission is to bring together accomplished clinicians who leverage existing healthcare, political, and financial resources, or create new ones. The group responds to threats to population health, identifies emerging ones, and works to address long-standing barriers to equitable, effective, and locally nuanced healthcare access.
