SAY NO TO SMOKING

Don’t follow the crowd!

Think for yourself!

Say no to smoking!

Introducing our newest ad from the Behind the Haze Campaign: “Test Your Luck” This new licensable Message Package focuses on the growing body of research showing diverse health consequences from vaping. In a relatable teen setting, an arcade, we dramatize the risks teens take when they choose to vape through a teen vaper playing with a claw machine full of health consequences to see which he may experience from vaping. His prize? Brain damage from the lead found in some popular vapes. In research, teens identified with the social setting and were surprised to learn that vaping risks extended beyond their lungs. This Message Package includes this ad in both horizontal and vertical formats as well as 20+ social and digital assets and is available for licensing as part of the Behind the Haze Ready-Made Media Campaign.

By highlighting this comparison, the ad shows teens just how damaging vaping can be to their lungs. Considering the surprising nature of these findings, “Chemical Warfare” provides sources and citations for the facts presented, as well as images of actual lung damage. This is one of the highest performing ads Rescue has ever tested with teens.

Introducing our newest ad from the Behind the Haze Campaign: “Hidden Weakness” This new licensable Message Package describes how vaping can cause difficulty breathing. This new ad helps teens understand how e-cig vapor inflames your airways, producing “sticky mucus” and phlegm that get trapped in your lungs, causing major breathing problems. Many lung diseases, like asthma, emphysema, and COPD are characterized by this condition. This Message Package includes this ad in both horizontal and vertical formats as well as 20+ social and digital assets and is available for licensing as part of the Behind the Haze Ready-Made Media Campaign.

Introducing our newest ad from the Behind the Haze Campaign: “Defenseless” This new licensable Message Package leverages society’s increased attention on viruses and contagion by explaining the latest science about vaping’s effects on lung defenses. New studies show that common vaping ingredients like propylene glycol, glycerin, and metal particles mess with the protective fat lining in your lungs. Without it, invaders (like viruses) and toxins can reach your air sacs and are more likely to cause serious infections. Regardless of whether the vape contains nicotine, THC, or neither, vaping decreases the body’s ability to fight off infections such as the flu, a leading cause of pneumonia. This Message Package includes this ad in both horizontal and vertical formats as well as 20+ social and digital assets and is available for licensing as part of the Behind the Haze Ready-Made Media Campaign.
