Next Legends: Inspiring AI/AN Youth to Live Native Strong and Vape Free

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cordially invites you to the launch of our “Next Legends” Youth E-Cigarette Prevention Campaign, part of the agency’s ongoing efforts to protect youth from the harms of tobacco use. The campaign will educate American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth, ages 12-17, about the harms of vaping through unique branding and tailored messaging created to inspire a new generation to live Native strong and vape-free. There are approximately 400,000 Native teens in the U.S., and more than half of them are at-risk of using tobacco products, including e-cigarettes. Studies show that Native youth are more susceptible to e-cigarette use than their non-Native peers, and they demonstrate disproportionately high experimentation with and current use of e-cigarettes. The campaign will be unveiled by: • Dr. Robert Califf, FDA Commissioner • Michele Mital, Acting Director of FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products • Dr. Loretta Christensen, Chief Medical Officer at the Indian Health Service • Cheyenne Brady, MPH, Sr. Programs Manager at the Center for Native American Youth, Sac & Fox Nation • Triston Black, Youth Leader, Champions for Change Participant at the Center for Native American Youth, Navajo Nation For more information about FDA’s public health education efforts related to e-cigarettes and other tobacco products, please visit the FDA Center for Tobacco Products’ Public Health Education Campaigns webpage.
