Lung Foundation Australia in collaboration with National Best Practice Unit (NBPU) and Apunipima Cape York Health Council have co-designed a series of resources for First Nations young people aged 18-24 years old. The resources include a video animation, three fact sheets and a poster, and cover everything you need to know about vaping and the impact on physical and mental health, nicotine dependence, how vaping affects the environment and the people around you, tobacco industry tactics and colonisation, reasons to quit vaping and how to make quitting work for you.
Alongside National Best Practice Unit and the Tackling Indigenous Smoking team, young people from Cape York Queensland were involved in the collaboration and helped to bring the essence of Cape York into the resources. Their feedback has been invaluable to make sure that the resources cover all the information needed to help young people make informed choices about vaping not only for themselves, but also for country and community.
