🚨Today is Take Down To***co National Day of Action🚨

To***co use is still the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the U.S.—and far too many young people are being targeted by the to***co industry.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 9 out of 10 adults who smoke ci******es start before age 18. That’s why today matters.

💥 We’re standing together to:
✔️ Raise awareness about the dangers of to***co and ni****ne use
✔️ Protect youth from targeted marketing
✔️ Encourage those who use to***co to take the first step toward quitting

📣 Take action today:
• Start a conversation
• Share this post
• Encourage someone to quit
• Advocate for a to***co-free future

🗨️Quitting isn’t easy, the To***co Prevention & Cessation Program Manager at Covering Kids & Families can help connect you to free and effective resources to quit to***co. Together with community partners, we aim to make Indiana healthier for all. Start your journey today!

Together, we can ***co and create healthier communities.💪
