Our <br /> agency works directly with the LGBTQ community in the City of Santa Ana to help prevent tobacco use among <br /> youth. The LGBTQ youth have a disproportionately higher rate of tobacco use than their heterosexual peers. The <br /> tobacco industry continues to target youth with flavored advertisements and products. Thus,we are asking you to help <br /> us prevent youth from a lifetime of addiction to sweet candy flavors. <br /> I have attached a letter of support from Partners4Wellness Project Manager Marianne along with letters of support <br /> from various LGBT serving organizations throughout Santa Ana. <br /> Best wishes, <br /> Thomas Moua <br /> Tobacco Prevention, LGBT Program Coordinator <br /> 0 Portner eflness <br /> Dt}Or, <br /> P 949.770.0847 x I E tmoua@p4w.org <br /> Partners4Wellness.org <br /> OM' <br /> i <br />
