Webinar - Emerging Tobacco Products: What they are, Why are we concerned, and What you can do

New tobacco products are infiltrating the market, including new disposable e-cigarettes, e-cigarettes shaped like watches and other household products, nicotine pouches, nicotine toothpicks, and flavored nicotine gums. Adolescents and young adults are using these products more often than combustible cigarettes. This presentation will provide detailed information on these new products, including nicotine levels, addiction, and other health effects, as well as marketing of these products. The presentation will also provide information on reasons for adolescent use of these products, including flavors, appeal, marketing, perceived reduced harm, stress, anxiety, depression, and misperceptions. There will also be a review of evidence-based resources that can be used to help prevent and reduce use of e-cigarettes, as well as advocacy efforts occurring in the US to reduce use. We will also take a few minutes to discuss the Stanford Tobacco Prevention Toolkit for those who are interested.

This webinar is open to Professionals working in the Substance Abuse Prevention field.
