Just like footprints you leave behind, smoke and vape leave traces too. On your clothes. In your home. In the air your family breathes. The smell may fade, but the harmful residue lingers, exposing not only you, but the people around you.

They make it look like a prize. But cigarettes and vape don’t make you a winner. The real cost? Addiction. Hospital bills. Serious Illness. Choose health before it’s too late. #TobaccoFreeGeneration #BeSafeDontVape

High-tech na vape, pero parehong panganib. Parami nang parami ang kabataang naaakit sa vaping hindi dahil alam nila ang epekto, kundi dahil sa packaging, flavors, at marketing na tila “safe” at modern. youtube.com/shorts/NJdZhty9b…
