What others have said…

“I think the most useful component of the YAS was the part about how we can spread our opinions through social media. Even though I don’t have or use it, I feel it is a powerful way to share your opinion.”
 – Summit Attendee

“The most useful component of the YAS this year was learning about how much power youth have to put an end to the use of nicotine and tobacco products”

– Summit Attendee
