Vaping is just nicotine in a flavored package, and it's as addictive as smoking cigarettes.
Nobody wants to feel powerless to nicotine.
Think about cutting back or quitting?

“Don’t Lean on Nicotine"
“Don’t Lean on Nicotine” is a local mass media campaign created to raise awareness among youth of a free, confidential texting-based resource for help to quit vaping.
Funded by Health Share of Oregon, the program is the first regional tobacco-related collaboration between the three counties’ tobacco prevention programs: Clackamas County, Multnomah County Washington County Tobacco Prevention and Education Programs (TPEP) and the Multnomah County REACH program.
The campaign was designed with an emphasis on LGBTQ+, African American and Hispanic/Latino youth communities who are disproportionately impacted by the tobacco industry’s marketing tactics and the negative health impacts of tobacco use.
For help quitting, text GO VAPELESS to 88709.
