"No matter how carefully someone uses tobacco products, the health of nearby children will still be negatively impacted," said Steve Coen, KHF president and CEO. "Parents and caregivers care deeply about their children, and providing them with information about their children's health can be an important component to quitting."
KHF recently provided nearly $95,000 in funding to Kansas Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics through the Healthy Living Grant program. This funding led pediatricians in the state to further help parents and caregivers stop smoking. Learn more: kansashealth.org/success-stories/hh-april2018/
