This
episode is the first in what we hope will be a new series called,
'Authentic Voices', where we speak with individuals in communities
across the US to hear how their lived experiences and interactions
in the retail environment impacted their journey with
tobacco.
In this
episode, we speak with Shaun Pryor, a Chicago-native and
Oklahoma-transplant who is an outspoken advocate against Big
Tobacco and the manipulative tactics they use to lure youth and
customers of all ages. We discuss his journey from smoking to
quitting to advocacy and action, and touch on the industry's
targeting of Black communities and the ways we can make lasting
change in tobacco control. An extended video version will be
available on Youtube later in July.
