Educating the Youth on Tobacco Use- Partnership with Saahas

In this special episode of the Brain Food Podcast, I am so excited to be partnering up and working with Sahaas for Cause, a non-profit organization that focuses on creating impactful programs to stabilize the lives of the South Asian community.. Our main goal with this project is to engage south Asian community members in tobacco control efforts with an emphasis on advancing policy or systems change and increasing awareness about tobacco or tobacco-related products after a CEA study was done showing how many youth younger than age 14 would start smoking e-cigarettes without the knowledge of its harmful side effects. Today I am speaking with Dr. Hemant Kulkarni a Consultant in Paediatric Respiratory and Sleep Medicine at Sheffield Children's Hospital in the UK. His clinical interests include general respiratory, ciliary brush biopsies, sleep-disordered breathing, and long-term ventilation, making him an incredible speaker on the subject of the effects of tobacco.
