In response, the Maryland Department of Health’s Center for Tobacco Prevention and Control has partnered with the Community-based; Advocacy-focused; Data-Driven; Coalition-Building; Association (CADCA) to support a youth-led, adult-guided Statewide Youth Movement against tobacco use/vaping among youth in Maryland.
