We have the honor of learning from Dr. Peter Singer, Special Advisor to the Director General at the World Health Organization who will be joining us live from Geneva. Recommendations for booster doses to people who have been fully vaccinated, brings up a concern for equity as many people around the globe have not received an initial dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. There are growing disparities between wealth and access to vaccines. The vast majority of COVID-19 vaccinations have occurred in wealthy countries. What are the implications of this and solutions moving forward? Join us as we learn more about global COVID-19 vaccine equity and how we can support global vaccine access.

Please join us for the Coalition for a Tobacco-Free Hawaii’s annual Stakeholder Meeting on Thursday, October 28, 2021 from 9 AM – 12 PM. This year is the Coalition’s 25th anniversary, and in honor of this occasion we celebrate our wins, reflect on our losses, and expose the tobacco industry’s lies.
Our featured speaker this year is Stanton A. Glantz, PhD, a renowned anti-tobacco activist, researcher and educator. Dr. Glantz served as founding Director of the University of California San Francisco Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education for 20 years, until he stepped down from that position in 2020. Dr. Glantz continues to conduct research on a wide range of topics ranging from the health effects of e-cigarettes and secondhand smoke (with particular emphasis on the cardiovascular system) to the efficacy of different tobacco control policies.

FLAVORS HOOK KIDS: Did you know that there are more than 15,000 flavors used in tobacco products to hook the next generation on nicotine?
Every penny you contribute stays right here in Hawai‘i.
The tobacco industry spends more than $25 million each year in Hawai‘i marketing their products to kids while sugary drink manufacturers pay fitness bloggers and researchers to promote diets that include soda. These industries care about one thing and one thing only: profit. That’s where we come in. We, and our coalitions, work every day to stop them in their tracks. We shine a light on their bad acts and we fight for policies that promote health for all Hawai’i residents and visitors. Your gift allows us to do more… and it is tax-deductible!
