In 2025, Parents Against Vaping is thrilled to continue Clear the Vapor Conversations, an exciting year-long series inspired by our successful Clear the Vapor conference! Our 2024 series drew nearly 10,000 registrants and thousands of live attendees.
Like the conference, Clear the Vapor Conversations convenes researchers, public health advocates, and leading experts as they participate in informative discussions held throughout the year. The series addresses a variety of topics including: environmental harms caused by vaping; “creative” vaping cessation ideas; and engaging youth to quit. Each event features a moderated discussion with your questions answered live.
JOIN US on Wednesday, November 5 at 6:00PM ET via Zoom for Parents at the Heart of Change: Advocacy That Endures with Dr. Buki Usidame Peters, Assistant Professor at Purdue University’s School of Public Health and expert in tobacco control policy, and Dr. Monica Wilson, PAVe's Regional Director in California!
In this session, we’ll discuss how parents and advocates can:
Understand and navigate the current shifts in tobacco control policy
Stay engaged and effective when systems and structures change
Connect policy conversations to real-world impacts on youth and families
Share community-based strategies that inspire hope and drive change
Submit your questions when you register—there will be a live moderated Q&A.
All registrants will also receive access to the event recording.
Even in times of uncertainty, advocacy thrives when people lead with purpose. Together, we can build the next chapter of prevention—grounded in resilience, collaboration, and hope.
Dr. Buki (“BOOK-ee”) Usidame Peters is an assistant professor in the Purdue Department of Public Health, and she is an expert on tobacco control, health policy and community health.
Dr. Usidame’s research efforts have focused on the impact of tobacco control policies on public health outcomes including reducing initiation, tobacco use, and relapse and increasing cessation of tobacco or nicotine products. Her studies focus on local, state and national policies. Her goal is to provide evidence-based approaches for communities to adopt effective public health policies that will protect the population from the dangers of the tobacco industry.
