For the past year I have been heavily involved with a newly formed council in Napa: The Napa Youth Council. The Napa Youth Council is a group of youth from high schools across Napa working with Napa Public Health and Services to decrease the access and use of tobacco amongst the youth of Napa. We have worked on various projects throughout the year but our largest project took place today. We presented at a City Council meeting regarding updating our City’s Tobacco Control Grades of 2019. Each year the American Lung Association gives each county their tobacco control grades and Napa received an overall F. To raise our Tobacco Control Grades of 2019, the council created a 3 step process which we presented about to City Council.
We received a lot of support from Friday Night Live Chapters all across Napa and had a whole room of supporters with us this evening!
