Program offers free training on smokeless tobacco

A tobacco prevention program offers a free training about the use of new forms of smokeless tobacco Tuesday afternoon.

The training, hosted by the Solano County Tobacco Prevention and Education Program, will start at 4 p.m., at the Solano County Health and Social Services' conference room No. 1. The address is 275 Beck Ave.

The training will cover the effects of the new tobacco products, including dissolvable strips, and nicotine delivery devices including e-cigarattes and hookahs.

Guest speaker Kimberlee Homer Vagadori, of the California Youth Advocacy Network, and TPEP Project Director Felicia Flores-Workman, MPH, will describe the emerging tobacco products, how they are designed to target youth, and how individuals can become advocates in their communities.
