ANTI-VAPING CAMPAIGN FOR TELEVISION
The campaign theme, “I Just Didn’t Know,” reflects the comments we heard as we were talking with both youths and adults about the issue – they regularly said they just didn’t know about the dangers.
 
E-cigarettes contain dangerous levels of nicotine that stunts grain growth, addict youth to tobacco and primes them for addiction to other drugs. E-cigarette aerosol also contains carcinogens, heavy metals and flavorings that can cause cancer and lung damage. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has made very clear that e-cigarettes are not safe for youth.
 
We can make broadcast quality video of the four PSAs to you through Centaur or another service of your choice. Will you please consider running these PSAs through September? Here is a link to the YouTube channel featuring the PSAs so you can see what we’re talking about:

If you aren't already airing these, you may consider doing so. For more info contact Bonnie Hackbarth at 502-326-2583.
