🟢Live: Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. signs a proclamation designating today, May 31, 2024, as World No Tobacco Day in the Cherokee Nation. Tobacco use remains one of the leading preventable causes of death for citizens of the Cherokee Nation. As many as 24 percent of Cherokee citizens in counties within our reservation are considered to use tobacco and smoke cigarettes and as many as 5 percent of Cherokees ages 18-34 will use vaping products according to our Cherokee Nation Public Health. To combat these issues the Cherokee Nation is dedicating $2.8 million into a Smoking Cessation Fund to boost public health smoking cessation programs, doubling the funding of those programs. Cherokee Nation has launched the “Keep it Traditional” campaign to raise awareness and reduce tobacco use, including smoking, dipping, and vaping, through a series of innovative programs and increased support for those on the road to quitting. #WorldNoTobaccoDay #TobaccoExposed #BreakTheHabit #KeepItTraditional
