​Westchester Releases PSAs On Vaping Prevention, Awareness

WHITE PLAINS, NY — Upholding Westchester County’s commitment to public health, Westchester County Executive George Latimer, the Department of Health and several community partners have launched a Vaping Prevention and Awareness Campaign. The campaign includes a series of three public service announcements (PSAs), which were created to help inform Westchester County residents about vaping.

Released in advance of The Great American Smoke-Out on Thursday, the third PSA focuses on How to Talk to Kids about Vaping. It features advice from Sherlita Amler, MD, commissioner of health, and Daniel A. Cohen, MD, a pediatrician at WestMed in Purchase.

Amler is a clinical associate professor of pediatrics at New York Medical College School of Medicine; and a distinguished lecturer at the College’s School of Public Health, as well as a senior fellow at its Center for Disaster Medicine. Cohen is assistant professor of clinical pediatrics at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.
