They didn’t follow the crowd—they chose a different path.

✅ Health over harmful habits
✅ Goals over peer pressure
✅ Their future over to***co

These young men are proving that saying “NO” isn’t weak. It’s powerful. It’s confident. It’s taking control.

“My body. My health. My future. To***co doesn’t make those decisions—I do.”

That’s the kind of energy we want to see! 💪🏾

Every Mississippi student deserves to return to a school where they can breathe clean air, stay focused, and build a healthy future.

But in 2022, 15.6% of Mississippi high school students reported using e-cigarettes, and more than half reported exposure to secondhand smoke or v***r.

That is why the Vape-Free School and Afterschool Campaign matters. By working together, students, parents, educators, and community leaders can make healthy choices easier.

Healthy students. Strong communities. Vape-free futures.
