Mango. Banana Taffy Freeze. Cool Mint. Berry Watermelon. Strawberry Cream. These sound like candy flavors you’d find in a checkout aisle, but they’re not. They’re nicotine products, sitting on shelves in convenience stores across the country. From disposable e-cigarettes to oral nicotine pouches, today’s tobacco and nicotine products are intentionally designed to appeal to youth.
At CADCA’s National Leadership Forum, a training session titled, “SAMHSA Session: Beyond Good Intentions: What Doesn’t Work in Prevention” challenged attendees to rethink some of the most common prevention activities that many of us have relied on for years. Led by Kris Reed, MPH, CPS of the Great Lakes PTTC, the session revealed a tough truth: some well-intentioned prevention strategies can actually cause harm.
Every year, CADCA hosts the Dose of Prevention Challenge in partnership with the Consumer Healthcare Products Association’s Stop Medicine Abuse campaign. Held during National Medicine Abuse Awareness Month in October, the challenge encourages coalitions nationwide to educate their communities about the risks of over-the-counter (OTC) cough medicine misuse and prescription drug misuse.
