LOUISVILLE â Abby Hefner, a junior at McCracken County High School, has been named a Healthy Kentucky Policy Champion for her efforts advocating for policies that help prevent youth tobacco use, after first becoming addicted to e-cigarettes as a freshman.
âOnce kicking the habit associated with nicotine addiction, she has become one of the most effective, positive peer forces in advocacy against tobacco,â said Dr. Pat Withrow in nominating Hefner for the award. âShe has carried her message not only locally but throughout the state of Kentucky and nationally.â
The Champion award is given by the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky to recognize Kentucky individuals and organizations engaged in improving the health of people in their communities and/or the entire commonwealth through policy change. Withrow is a member of the foundationâs board of directors.
