6/6: For First 5s - the flavor ban means an almost 6% decrease in annual budgets. It's time to think long-term to come up with innovative strategies to ensure that all children have access to the tools they need to succeed. #F5AD
5/6: The impact of this flavor ban is expected to be significant. By banning these products, California hopes to decrease the rates of tobacco use among youth and adults alike. #F5AD
4/6: In 2022, the state affirmed the ban on flavored tobacco products, known as Prop 31. This ban aims to reduce the rates of tobacco purchases and use, especially among youth. #F5AD
3/6: Fast forward to 2016, the revenue from Prop 56 was utilized towards physician training, Medi-Cal, tobacco-use prevention and reduction programs, and research into cancer and heart diseases. #F5AD
2/6: Prop 10 created a system of care, unique to CA, which formed First 5s 58 county commissions that deliver solutions to early childhood development statewide. Connecting families to resources in communities make First 5 invaluable to the children and families they serve. #F5AD
1/6: The revenues from Prop 10 fund early childhood education, health care, and tobacco-use prevention programs. This initiative led to a decrease in smoking rates by 12% among California adults. #F5AD
In 1998, the passage of Prop 10 and Prop 56 in 2016 have made significant contributions to improving public health in California...Let's dive into the impact of these propositions and the recent Prop 31 flavor ban on tobacco products in California. A THREAD! #F5AD
First 5s serve one million children and 500,000 parents annually. #F5AD
