Due South

'Golden Leaf' series: Thousands of NC deaths each year tied to tobacco use. Why some communities are hit so hard, and how to get help to quit.


Listen Later

In the latest installment of our ongoing series “Golden Leaf” — about tobacco’s deep roots in North Carolina — we turn to the impact of smoking in our state.

How many North Carolinians are dying from disease caused by tobacco use? And what kinds of programs are proven to be successful at helping people quit? Co-host Leoneda Inge talks with Dr. Adam Goldstein about tobacco use prevention and cessation.

Then, co-host Jeff Tiberii is joined by a panel of experts to discuss how and why some Black and Native communities are disproportionately impacted by tobacco, the history behind these health disparities, and about potential ways forward.
