Happy Halloween, Crews! It's the last day of our October commotion! Let's see those Lies Fly #StopLiquidLies

98.7% of all e-juice products contain highly addictive nicotine. Skip the flavors and get the facts, share this post to help #StopLiquidLies.

Before and after! This our Wall of Lies: we filled the wall with lies we’ve been told about e-cigarettes and vapes. #StopLiquidLies

Liquid Lie: “E-cigarettes and vapes don’t contain nicotine.”
Liquid Fact (from our keynote speaker, Dr. Kar-Hai Chu): “One vape pod contains as much nicotine as an ENTIRE pack of cigarettes. Even ‘nicotine-free’ e-juices heat more-concentrated liquid, increasing the chemicals and metals that go straight into your lungs.” #StopLiquidLies

Lies about vaping and e-cigarettes can fly far, so let’s work together to #StopLiquidLies before they take off!

State Health Officer, Dr. Slemp, is here to tear down liquid lies (and absolutely DESTROY the dance floor while she’s at it!). #StopLiquidLies

It’s a beautiful day to #StopLiquidLies! Raze Crews are arriving and we couldn’t be more excited!

Change is in the air in the fight against e-cigarettes. Grab your crew and share your Lies Fly videos with #StopLiquidLies all October long. Click the link in our bio for more info.

Teens who vaped had a three times higher concentration of toxins than teens who did not vape. - Pediatrics Journal #UpTheAge #UpTheAgeWV

Vape flavors may sound sweet, but none are as sweet as being able to breathe. Don’t be a victim to Big Tobacco’s tricks - say no thanks to vapes!

Coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, weight loss, feeling of not being able to breathe – these are all dangerous effects of vaping. Some teens complain about not being able to perform as well in sports. For resources on how to help someone quit smoking, go to: lung.org/stop-smoking/help-someone-quit/

Don’t be fooled! E-cigarettes contain a lot of the same ingredients that are inside cigarettes. In fact, the amount of nicotine in ONE JUUL pod is the same amount as 20 cigarettes. Don’t let yourself and your friends get addicted! #BeCoolDontJuul #NotAReplacement

Within the last month, 8 Wisconsin teens were hospitalized. The link? E-cigarettes. We don’t want WV youth to be next! Find out more about this story here: shorturl.at/ciuz
