Teenagers experience peer pressure, and it can have significant consequences…some good and some bad.  Engaging high school students in developing messages about the dangers of vaping using a video challenge has created a positive buzz through the hallways and in the community. The South Dakota Foundation for Medical Care is expanding to include the creative talents of students participating in one-act plays to grow the collection of peer-based messages aimed at prevention, cessation, and education around tobacco use.

Objectives:

1. Highlight the growing numbers of adolescents who use tobacco or vape products
2. Describe the criteria of the Vaping Video Challenge
3. Encourage the use of peer-based tobacco/vaping prevention messages
