🍉 Watermelon Sugar? .. NAH 🙅🏽 Acrolein is an ingredient in weed killer, but it is also hidden inside your vape. Young people who don't access their vape through a prescription from their doctor are purchasing from dodgy vape dealers who are not complying with laws or regulations around listing the ingredients/chemicals that are being put into your vape ‘juice’. As a result, young people are ingesting these damaging substances unknowingly, which could be causing harm to your insides! Sweet? Nah Gammin 😎 📆 Friday 29th May is World No Tobacco Day and we will be celebrating at Amphitheatre Ballina from 10am-2pm.

66 Australians die from tobacco every day. 1 in 3 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will die from tobacco related deaths. We are losing generations of languages, knowledges and cultures. This week we’re focusing on the messages from our “Warraay Puthu” (Bad Smoke) campaign ads. Our song ‘Voices of Resistance’ was created as part of the campaign alongside TVCs featuring Nooky, Dallas Woods, Fred Leone, Soju Gang and RIAH, and young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Tackling Indigenous Smoking leaders from urban, regional and remote communities across QLD, NSW, WA and the ACT. This campaign marks the beginning of a national movement that empowers young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to stand up against the commercial Tobacco and Nicotine Industry. For help to quit, please see your local health worker or doctor, call the Quitline on 13 7848 or download the My QuitBuddy app. The campaign is supported by the Yardhura Walani Tobacco Free Program at ANU and Grand Trine Creative. @nookymusic @soju_gang @riah_alone @fredleone @woods.dallas @melnunnie @taskertrouble @warraayputhu @grandtrine_creative @najoomelah @ready.quit.solid @torreshealth @deathbysmoke_kmj @barndi_yarraly_grams_tis @wugenwal_yan @3three.percent #WarraayPuthu #VoicesOfResistance #TobaccoFree #BadSmoke #StandStrongAgainstBadSmoke #BreatheStrongBreatheLong

Let’s talk about the truth. Commercial tobacco has no place in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. It was used in rations as a form of payment and control up until the late 1960s.

“A PSA to the day to day people who want to quit: there's help around in your cities and towns, quitting ain't hard as you think.” – @woods.dallas Young Tackling Indigenous Smoking (TIS) program leaders from across the country helped write, record and film ‘Voices of Resistance’. Here they are looking staunch in the music video available now on YouTube (link in bio and comments). These young people are working on the ground to eliminate the harms of smoking and vaping in their communities as part of the TIS program and can refer you to the supports you need to quit smoking or vaping. If you’re ready to take the step to quit, support is there: Talk to your local health service or GP, Call Quitline on 13 7848 or try the My QuitBuddy app. You don’t have to do it alone. #WarraayPuthu #VoicesOfResistance #TobaccoFree #BadSmoke #StandStrongAgainstBadSmoke #BreatheStrongBreatheLong @nookymusic @soju_gang @riah_alone @fredleone @woods.dallas @melnunnie @taskertrouble @warraayputhu @grandtrine_creative @najoomelah @ready.quit.solid @torreshealth @deathbysmoke_kmj @barndi_yarraly_grams_tis @wugenwal_yan @3three.percent @yungbrothermusic
