Anti-Vaping And Anti-Smoking Initiatives Seek To Improve Health In Teens And Adults
The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) has been trying to work to improve health outcomes by developing anti-vaping and anti-smoking initiatives for teens and adults. The “Me and Nic Broke Up,” initiative is geared toward getting teens to stop vaping, began in the Spring 2024. The adult anti-smoking initiative is part of CDPH’s newly formed Tobacco Community Coalition, which kicked off in December of 2024. Chioma Ejiofor is a Public Health Administrator who is leading the teen anti-vaping and adult anti-smoking initiatives for CDPH. She answered questions for the Citizen Newspaper about these initiatives.
