Join us for this youth-led Tobacco-Free Community Forum!About this Event
What If… we had a Tobacco-Free Wake County for everyone?
Wake County Tobacco-Free Community Forum 2025
The Poe Center for Health Education, in partnership with Wake County Human Services and Wake County Public Schools, invites the Triangle community to ask: What if… we all had a tobacco-free community at the Tobacco-Free Community Forum.
This is a FREE event.
1 in 5 high school students currently use a vape product – that’s about 6 in every classroom (North Carolina Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 2023). Youth tobacco use continues to be a health crisis.
The purpose of the Forum is to move the needle and make a healthy difference in the lives of Wake County residents.
Date: Thursday, May 15th, 2025
Time: 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Location:
Wake County Commons Building
4011 Carya Dr
Raleigh, NC 27610
Join us as we:
- Hear from Wake County youth.
- Hear from leading experts on the current trends and health impacts of the vaping epidemic.
- Discuss current and future policies that facilitate tobacco-free environments.
- Create action plans for healthier schools and communities.
Hosted at the Wake County Commons Building, this youth-led forum will feature a review of current trends and a discussion of action steps that youth, parents and community leaders can take to support tobacco-free and nicotine-free environments.
The forum will provide opportunities for youth, parents, and community members to hear about and participate in conversations about strategies that reduce youth tobacco use and to empower communities in the solution. Join us!
