HRC Legacy Webinar on LGBT Tobacco Use

Reposted at http://www.tobaccodeathray.blogspot.com,

December 11, 2012 at 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time Legacy is joining forces with the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) to host a special Warner Series Lecture on December 11th, exploring the complex issues surrounding tobacco in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community. I
 
n 1995, R.J. Reynolds created a marketing campaign targeting gays titled Project SCUM. Since then, what role has Big Tobacco played in the high rates of tobacco use in LGBT communities? Why do LGBT Americans smoke in disproportionate numbers to the general population?  What initiatives have succeeded in reducing LGBT tobacco use? The discussion will address these questions and more as Legacy releases a new report, Tobacco Control in LGBT Communities.

The lecture will take place live at the HRC headquarters in Washington, DC, and can also be viewed via webcast. To attend in person, register.
