SUMMARY:Tobacco in culture: The renormalization and glamorization of smoking
DESCRIPTION:Smoking imagery has no place in our culture. Over the past several years\, we’ve experienced a pervasive re-emergence of smoking imagery that is glamorizing and renormalizing a deadly habit to millions of impressionable young people. Research shows that higher exposure to smoking iimagery makes youth twice as likely to smoke. Tobacco use continues to be portrayed positively amongst celebrities in movies\, video games and increasingly in streaming video content. 79% of shows most popular with young people between the ages of 15-24 depict tobacco use. This panel discussion will explore why tobacco imagery is making a resurgence and whether entertainment companies have a responsibility to address the issue of tobacco use on-screen\, given the outsized impact on younger audiences. \nPanelists: \n\nRobin Koval\, President and CEO\, Truth Initiative\nMichael Tynan\, Public Health Analyst\, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\nDr. Joanne Cranwell\, Lecturer\, Department of Health\, University of Bath U.K.\nSteven Asarch\, Writer\, Newsweek Player One\nKat Wojsiat\, Reality Check of NY\n\nModerator: \n\nTravis Andrews\, Reporter\, The Washington Post\n\nWHEN:\nWednesday\, May 16\, 2018 \nProgram begins promptly at 11:30 a.m.\nLunch will be served at 12:30 p.m. \nWHERE:\nNewseum\nKnight Conference Center\, Eighth Floor\n555 Pennsylvania Avenue\, N.W.\, Washington\, D.C.  20001 \nAccess the Conference Center from the 6th St entrance. \n(The event will also be broadcast live online.
