About the Conversation

Beyond the Smoke

Tobacco related illness continues to weigh heavily on communities that have historically been targeted by industry marketing and left with fewer pathways to care. Beyond the Smoke exists to surface those realities with clarity, compassion, and resolve.

Community voices are essential to lasting change. This conversation elevates advocates, organizers, and lived experience so policy, education, and support can reflect the people most affected.

Presented by AddEleven, in collaboration with leading organizations, the roundtable models what thoughtful partnership looks like: listening first, sharing openly, and moving together toward more equitable health outcomes.
