Real Talk Tobacco

In this episode you'll hear from Ravena Soto, Project Coordinator for the Tribal Community Coordinating Center at ETR, Rachel Reif, Youth Engagement Coordinator for the La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians, and Kortni Bennett, Project Coordinator for California's Clean Air Project. Our guests explain the difference between traditional and commercial tobacco, internal challenges for implementing tobacco policies, and the priorities that drive tobacco control efforts within tribal communities. 

The production, marketing and sale of tobacco products violates numerous human rights. 

Thankfully, there’s a global community of dedicated individuals in academia, advocacy organizations and government agencies working hard to end these violations and in turn, end the tobacco epidemic.

On Real Talk Tobacco, Laurent Huber will sit down with leaders in the public health field to hear about the progress they’ve seen throughout their careers and to find out where they see our field going in the years to come.
