Our intended audience is anyone interested in public health topics and youth prevention in East Texas and beyond. We will share the voices of high school seniors in our Drug Free All Star program and share updates of different prevention topics that affect our region. The Coalition is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit in Lufkin, Tx, serving parts of East Texas, intent on keeping the youth of our community away from drugs, alcohol and tobacco. We were established in 1988 by area superintendents who saw drugs as a problem and wanted a county-wide prevention program.

Bonny Hicks and J.P. Heath of The Coalition discuss Project Quit and how people can sign up to quit tobacco. Bonny goes into great depth about what the classes will be like and what inspires her most about teaching them. They talk about the similar harms of e-cigarettes compared to cigarettes and mention some other methods for quitting and how difficult it is to quit because of the highly addictive nature of nicotine.
J.P. plays an interview with Dr. Steven Kelder of the UT-Austin School of Public Health about the harms of e-cigarettes and the vaping epidemic.
