This is a good step but more needs to be done to understand impact of vaping on health and to support those who wish to quit vaping @BCLungFdn @LauraStruik @MilanKhara @PollutionLab

[Dr. Laura Struik, PhD RN @LauraStruik]

Today on #WorldCancerDay, we come together to take action and change the future of cancer. For the person who hears the words, “you have cancer” and for those who love and care for them. Because no one should have to face cancer alone. TOGETHER, we’re bigger than cancer. 💛

We have made significant gains but more work is still needed by all levels of government to reduce tobacco use, especially in youth @MilanKhara @PollutionLab @quitnowbc @LauraStruik @DocsVsTobacco @Foundrybc
