Dear Community Members,
Welcome to the May edition of the Live Life Well Project newsletter, brought to you by the EC Reems Community Services Health and Wellness Department. This month, we continue to focus on an important topic: the detrimental impact of tobacco use, vaping, hookah, and marijuana within underrepresented communities.
Understanding the Impact
Across various demographics, the use of tobacco products and related substances continues to present serious health risks, particularly within communities facing disparities in access to healthcare and wellness resources. The Live Life Well Project aims to raise awareness about these issues and provide support for healthier lifestyles.
