Balancing Negatives and Positives

We leveraged four key elements to drive change. One, clearly communicate the short-term complications that can come from vaping in plain language that’s easy to understand. Two, combat common myths about vaping. Three, offer positive reinforcement in the form of tips, tricks, and resources to help navigate the quit journey. And finally, an easy, low barrier CTA asking young Mainers to enroll in our quit program via text.

Highlighting What Matters Most

Through research and focus groups, we learned that seemingly small side effects had a huge impact. For example, by pairing the idea that vaping can kill taste buds with images of ice cream and pizza, we learned something as simple as not being able to enjoy the simple pleasures in life was enough to motivate youth vapers to consider quitting.

Making Quitting Accessible

Using bright, positive visuals combined with real, immediate side effects made the downsides of vaping feel real, in a way that didn’t cue immediate doom and gloom. The art direction allowed us to speak to heavy, concerning topics in a peer-to-peer way that never felt heavy handed.
