Clean Air for All invites you to join us for an upcoming webinar: How COVID-19 Sheds New Light on Lung Health and Smoke-Free Public Housing. We will discuss ways COVID-19 has impacted smoke-free public housing, learn about the link between smoking, secondhand smoke exposure, and COVID-19, and share resources and strategies to help PHAs manage smoke-free housing during the pandemic.

We are honored to be joined by Dr. Brian King, Deputy Director for Research Translation for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for this discussion.

Webinar Objectives:
- Describe the state of the science with regard to smoking, secondhand smoke exposure and COVID-19
- Illustrate ways the COVID-19 pandemic may impact smoke-free public housing and discuss potential adaptive strategies
- Outline existing resources to help public health authorities (PHA) improve smoke-free policies
- List smoking cessation support resources for public housing authorities (PHA)
