Stories like Jane’s are powerful and can inspire others to live to***co free. That’s why we have started collecting personal stories about to***co. Share yours at this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/to***costory

Jane is from Muncie and began smoking ci******es at the age of 15 and continued to smoke for just over 30 years. Her mom and dad both smoked growing up and never discussed the health concerns with her. She started just to fit in with her friends. After 4 kids and a heart attack, Jane decided her family would come first. By using ni****ne gum, she kicked her addiction! She had a special message to current high school students with va**ng. Don't start to fit in with friends, it's not worth it in the end.

Don’t be tricked my Big To***co!

🎃 Parents, Beware! Halloween: Treats or To***co Tricks? 🍬🍭

During this season of costumes and fun, our kids are exposed to more than just candy. The to***co industry has a long history of using deceptive and subtle tactics to hook young people, and Halloween is no exception!

🛑 How does the to***co industry use holidays like Halloween to influence our children?

🚨 "Kid-Friendly" Advertising: Products with sweet or fruity flavors that mimic popular candies.
🚨 Appealing Packaging: Colorful designs or packaging that resemble popular sweet brands.
🚨 Subtle Messaging: Event sponsorships or high visibility at points of sale frequented by youth, which normalizes the product.
🚨 Influencers & Social Media: While not always directly tied to Halloween, the use of influencers and trends to make va**ng and to***co seem "cool" is constantly present.

✅ Protect your kids from the to***co industry's "tricks" this Halloween and all year long! Their health is not a game.
