“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.
