So along with the social norms changing, more awareness, there does come stigma, which does make it hard for people to seek treatment.

But in Alaska, you know, pregnant women are smoking and using tobacco and It's not that there's a lack of awareness, it's more the acceptability, more the favorable social norms.

So that's kind of an example I think about where there have been changes in social norms, but like I said, in certain communities where there may be different social norms or the tobacco industry may be aggressively targeting certain communities.

Just following up on that with the effective behavioral programs for youth, and just delivering those programs myself to youth, the long-term consequences really don't resonate. It's more those short-term impacts that youth are experiencing. So appearance-related effects, so yellow stained teeth, breathing difficulties, like with their sports.

We might give them a questionnaire and find out they're scoring high on depression, but when people are just talking about the smoking, they talk about stress and more that it's hard to quit because of the stress that they're experiencing in their lives.
