Claire Wakefield: An increasing number of young vapers want to quit

shared on LinkedIn:

“Today marks 2 months since our incredible team at Minderoo Foundation launched the UNCLOUD campaign to empower children and young people to say no to vaping.

I am hugely proud of this youth-led campaign featuring 11 young Australians who shared their stories about the impact of vaping on their lives in the hope of inspiring others. This 4 min film tells their stories. (See here).

Encouragingly, our data show an increasing number of young vapers want to quit (it’s now 6 in 10!). My great hope is that UNCLOUD will encourage even more to quit, while also empowering non-vapers to keep saying no.

Hope you enjoy these behind the scenes pics of the campaign coming to life!”
