Student Leaders attended a Rally at the State House in Montpelier

Aleksandra Cirovic from VTLSP/OVX and Astrid McFarland from VKAT attended the Rally at the State House in Montpelier on Tuesday, Feb. 13. Students from OVX and VKAT groups all over Vermont attended. These groups understand the impact of tobacco and nicotine addiction, along with the tobacco industry's ability to target youth with fruity flavors and attractive technology of the vaping devices. The Rally provides youth a platform to educate and inform key decision makers and fellow Vermonters about tobacco and nicotine related issues, as seen and experienced firsthand. We also met with Senator Alison Clarkson, which was a great experience. Representative Tesha Buss also was attempting to connect with us throughout the day and we greatly appreciate that she tried!
