Join NMACT for a free screening of the film Black Lives, Black Lungs: Journey of a Stolen Leaf. The film will be followed by a panel discussion on racism in tobacco marketing and public health.

“Black Lives, Black Lungs: The Journey of a Stolen Leaf unravels the tobacco industry’s forward-looking strategy of protecting profits, subverting regulations, and maintaining influence through the promotion of e-cigarettes to hook a new generation to nicotine. The panel discussion will feature topics of racism within commercial tobacco marketing, the lasting health and economic impacts on communities, and discussion of policy initiatives working to address health equity in New Mexico.”
