Choose You

In 2023, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) launched the statewide vaping and commercial tobacco prevention campaign, Choose You, to educate youth about the risks of using vapes and spotlight quitting resources available. Informed by direct input from youth across the state, the campaign describes a range of health impacts and other consequences caused by vaping and commercial tobacco use: vaping’s impact on mental health, hobbies and other extracurricular activities, relationships, physical health, and brain chemistry, as well as addiction, costs issues, and industry targeting.
