SOLUTION

Hello everyone,

I have chosen tobacco/smoking/vaping as my topic. 

Tobacco use, including smoking and vaping, remains a significant health concern in many communities, contributing to preventable diseases such as lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory issues (USDHHS, 2014). Despite widespread awareness, the rise in vaping among young adults has added a new dimension to the tobacco crisis, creating a need for targeted health promotion. Local data from county health departments often indicates a rise in vaping, especially among teenagers, highlighting the urgency to address this issue. Tobacco use not only harms users but also affects non-smokers through secondhand smoke exposure, making it a broader community health concern.
