Tobacco use starts young and easily turns into a lifelong addiction. In 2022, nearly 800,000 teens vaped for the first time. The American Heart Association together with Tobacco Free Jacksonville is hosting a symposium on May 4, 2024, to fight Big Tobacco by educating and sharing resources with the First Coast community. Made possible by the Florida Blue Foundation, the event is free and open to the public. Tickets are available at: www.tinyurl.com/vapingsymposium

A case before the Florida Supreme Court could make it harder for Floridians to sue tobacco companies for damages.
