A lot of learning this week about how sneaky big to***co use their methods to get the next generations hooked on ni****ne products.

A lot of us TIS Victorian workers, along with QLD and NSW teams, learned how to use Health Promotion to fight big to***co messages.

Through DDACL events, schools work and work through our local KMS groups, which will help to update and remind community about va**ng and smoking health harms. In the hopes our reminders and messaging are more of an influence than big to***co harms.

I look forward to sharing with the ACCO staff from other organisations who pre booked a yarn for their own staff with me. I aim to update other health workers locally around the impacts these changes may have on community members they are supporting.

If any other ACCO's near DDACL region would like to make contact to arrange an update on va**ng changes, please reach out and make contact l

I will get back to you ASAP.

Sometimes, thoughts and feelings can get out of sync, and reaching for the vapes or the ciggies seems an easy solution for comfort.
But.....
This can increase isolation from

➡️Community
➡️Family
➡️Friends and
➡️Cultural connections

Instead of reaching for vapes or smokes in difficult moments:

Try reaching out for positive community support, some yarns, a good feed, and steps closer to the ones who are looking out for you.
