 Start My Quit 

Think vaping helps? Think again.

When you vape to feel calm, you’re actually making things worse. Nicotine is linked to increased anxiety, depression, insomnia and other mental health issues. Plus, nicotine addiction can cause mood swings, irritability and difficulty focusing — not to mention its long-term health risks including lung cancer and heart disease.

 

Find your #VapeFreeFlex

Vape is a drain, on your wallet and your life. So what if you ditched the vape and spent that cash on stuff that matters more? Think concerts, new fits and epic hangouts. Instead of fueling a costly habit, start flexing with cool buys and awesome experiences.

 

Tell Big Tobacco to puff off

Big tobacco makes billions by targeting young people, using flashy ads and sweet flavors to get you to try nicotine. Their goal is simple: get you hooked so they can profit off the addiction they sold you. And the younger they get you, the more money they make off you.

With each puff, you destroy the planet

Vapes may seem like a cleaner alternative to smoking, but their environmental impact is significant. Disposable vapes and pods are often made with non-biodegradable materials like plastic and lithium batteries. When these vapes are discarded, they break down into microplastics and toxic chemicals that pollute waterways and poison wildlife.
