It’s Red Ribbon Week! It’s important that we work together in our communities to make them safe for all our citizens. Part of that work includes educating our youth on the harmful effects of all drugs including ni****ne.

Ni****ne is a powerful, addictive drug. It alters brain development. Your brain is not fully developed until around the age of 25. Ni****ne changes the way the synapses are formed. This in turn can damage the areas that control learning and attention.

Va**ng doesn't help anxiety. It just increases your chance of adding the problem of addiction to it.

Don’t be fooled. Va**ng is not a cure. It’s a disease.

What would you do if you had a million dollars? Buy a house, get a fancy car, go on vacation, drink Starbucks' pumpkin spice lattes for life? The to***co industry spends nearly 1 million dollars on marketing every HOUR!
Point of Sale is the directing marketing tactic that the to***co industry uses to target our youth, minorities, and communities with low incomes. It's time to flip over a new leaf and stop these advertisements from putting the burden of to***co on our community.
