Ridgefield High School senior Madison Langer was named a Youth Advocate of the Year by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. Langer, 18, traveled to Washington, D.C., last week to receive her award, which recognizes youth advocates doing tobacco prevention work.
Langer is a recovering e-cigarette addict, and shares her story with peers, lawmakers and the media to advocate for tobacco control. She testified before the Washington Legislature to advocate for raising the age to purchase and use tobacco to 21, and spoke when Gov. Jay Inslee signed the bill into law.
