Flavoured vapes aren’t harmless—they’re bait. Candy and sweet flavours mask the harm and get young people hooked early, creating lifelong customers for an industry that profits off addiction.
⚠️It’s not a trend. It’s a trap.
Let’s protect our youth.

Candy-coated lies…enticing new users & keeping existing ones hooked.

The tobacco & nicotine industries target people of all ages with products and designs tailored to different groups while deliberately preying on youth.

The manipulation stops here. #TobaccoExposed

Ahead of #WorldNoTobaccoDay 🚭 tomorrow, let's unmask the appeal & expose the truth 👉https://t.co/sd7QfOHOnY
