We invite all Tobacco Education Coordinators from BSAS programs to join us for a discussion about recent successes and challenges in this role. You will have the chance to share your experiences with other TECs and to hear about their efforts to raise awareness about tobacco/nicotine dependence in their organization. Meetings are great opportunities for training, discussion, & resource sharing.
In addition to news updates and ideas for The Great American Smokeout, these sessions will have a special focus on the connections between nicotine use and stress. Many people who use tobacco/nicotine products say they are not interested in addressing their nicotine addiction because smoking (or vaping) is a way to deal with stress. Despite the perception that tobacco/nicotine use helps lessen stress, we know that smoking/vaping contributes to an increase in physical, behavioral, and emotional stress. Helping people learn a broad range of coping skills not only improves mental health outcomes and supports long-term recovery from other substance use, but it can also begin to increase a person's confidence in their ability to quit someday.
