Instead of vaping, I…
While more students have tried or used vaping devices regularly in recent years, many students still don’t use them. Tobacco/nicotine use (primarily vaping) was reported by 12% of Winona County 8th graders, and 15% of 9th and 11th graders (Minnesota Student Survey, 2019).
We think more people need to know this – that many students still don’t vape. Everyone has a reason for choosing not to vape or wanting to quit, so let’s hear their stories through art!
Deadline to submit a photo or image of your artwork is December 3, 2021. Use the online form below.
This year’s art contest theme is “Instead of vaping, I…”. Students are invited to create and submit a piece of artwork that illustrates why they choose not to vape. It could be something you enjoy most in life or something that helps you if trying to quit (e.g. hobby, person, thing, future goal, etc.).
