Reducing Youth Access to Tobacco – April 2021

During the month of April, the Vape Free La Habra Coalition had the honor of presenting a certificate from The Tobacco and Vape Free Orange County Coalition and letters of appreciation from Community Action Partnership of Orange County to the La Habra City Council. This presentation was to recognize the Council’s efforts in helping reduce the use of tobacco, and exposure to secondhand smoke by including electronic devices, plant products, and synthetic substances in the City’s definition of “tobacco” and “smoking”, as well as for passing the smoke free parks ordinance. This was an EPIC opportunity for coalition members to introduce the Reducing Youth Access to Tobacco in La Habra program, and invite council members to join the movement. The group is grateful for their ongoing support and commitment to the health of La Habra residents. Together we can improve the health and safety of our community, especially for our youth, who are the future of La Habra!
