Ni****ne and to***co use can make it harder for the body to fight infections like Tuberculosis. 🚭🫁

Smoking or va**ng can weaken the immune system and damage the lungs — which increases the risk of getting TB or having more serious symptoms. It can also make recovery take longer.

Choosing to stay ni****ne-free helps protect your lungs, strengthens your body’s defenses, and supports a healthier future. 💙✨

Free quitting resources are available by calling 1-800-Quit-Now!

Parents and teens — ni****ne can affect sleep more than you think. 😴

Because ni****ne is a stimulant, it can make it harder to fall asleep, stay asleep, and get the deep rest teens need for learning, mood, and focus. Some teens may feel tired or irritable during the day without realizing ni****ne could be the cause.

Healthy sleep helps your brain, mood, and body recover. Choosing to stay ni****ne-free can help you rest better and feel better.

Free quitting resources are available by calling 1-800-Quit-Now!

DID YOU KNOW?
NI****NE AFFECTS KIDNEYS TOO!

Most people think about lungs and heart health — but ni****ne also harms your kidneys.

Here’s how:
🩸 Raises blood pressure
🔒 Narrows blood vessels
⚠️ Reduces blood flow to the kidneys
📉 Increases risk for Chronic Kidney Disease

Your kidneys work 24/7 to filter waste and keep your body balanced. Ni****ne makes that job harder — and over time, the damage can add up.

Protect your body from the inside out.
Choose ni****ne-free.

Your journey to a healthier you can start today. Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW for FREE tools and support to help you quit.

For decades, to***co companies have disproportionately targeted Black communities with menthol products — contributing to higher rates of addiction and preventable disease.

Ni****ne prevention is about protecting our youth. It’s about ensuring every community has the opportunity to live a healthy, addiction-free life.

Honoring Black history also means protecting Black futures. 💛

The new year is a powerful time to let go of what no longer serves you — including ni****ne. Quitting (or choosing never to start) is more than a resolution.

It’s an investment in your future, your mental clarity, and your freedom.

New year. Clear mind. Strong future. ✨
