Parents Against Vaping e-cigarettes (PAVe) has become an influential advocacy and education nonprofit run and powered by passionate volunteers across the country. The organization serves as the national parent voice fighting the predatory behavior of Big Tobacco as it relates to vaping and targeting youth.

PAVe parents advocate at the local, state, and national levels for ending the sale of all flavored e-cigarettes and all menthol and other flavored tobacco products. They also provide free resources, training, and materials that empower parents to educate others in their own communities about the dangers of youth vaping. 

Together with Dina Alessi and Dorian Fuhrman, Meredith Berkman is one of the founding partners of PAVe. This podcast, part of summer 2023 issue of CHEST Advocates, shares her story.
