[HealthyTribes] Tobacco-focused Health Equity Webinar and Video

[Thirstrup Ashley]

Hello Tribal Partners,

Below are links to two powerful tobacco-focused health equity resources.  Please consider sharing with your networks.

*         Tobacco: Honoring our Traditions and our Health.<https://www.apha.org/topics-and-issues/environmental-health/partners/think-tank> Tribal Public and Environmental Health Think Tank (August 2017). This video showcases tobacco prevention efforts in Wisconsin tribal communities. In addition to distinguishing commercial tobacco from traditional, sacred tobacco, the video tells the story of an outdoor Ojibwe cultural event center and a casino that have adopted smoke-free policies.

*         Intended Consequences of the Predatory Marketing of Menthol Cigarettes: A Community Under Siege - Smoking With The Enemy 2.0<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lllQONCiw0E&feature=youtu.be&utm_source=Copy+of+Intended+Consequences+of+the+Predatory+Marketing+of+Menthol+Cigarettes&utm_campaign=SF+Forum-Broader+Community&utm_medium=email>.  African American Tobacco Leadership Council (August 2017). This archived webinar tells how the tobacco industry has historically used African American leaders to thwart public health policies that would protect the Black community, and provides ideas for taking action that can stop them.
