Collab: Flavored Tobacco Education & Advocacy Week 2025

Throughout the month of May, we partnered with one of our members, the Mariposa County Tobacco Education Program (TEP), to promote Friday Night Live’s Flavored Tobacco Education & Advocacy Week – May 25-31, 2025.

Each week in May, TEP used data, much of which can be found on our Data Resources page, to answer four questions about flavored tobacco and nicotine products. 

·        How did flavors lead to the increase in youth vaping?

·        Why do flavors make nicotine products more addictive?

·        What is the “Flavored Tobacco Ban?”

·        What is the “Unflavored Tobacco List?”

Mariposa Safe Families and the young advocates of the Mariposa County Friday Night Live program have been supporting awareness of flavored tobacco products and the harms they pose to young people for a few years now.

Youth Coordinator Supervisor Heather Livingston, Youth Coordinator Isaac Camorlinga, and the FNL Youth made a fantastic presentation at the May 20, 2025 Board of Supervisors meeting, as the Board proclaimed May 25-31, 2025 as Mariposa County Flavored Tobacco Education and Advocacy Week.
