🏆 Congratulations to Thanuri and Drug Information Centre, Sri Lanka, for being recognised for the Best Core Policy Advocacy Output under the Vision for Change: Global Youth Advocacy Showcase.

In her winning article, "Unmasking the To***co Industry's Digital Loopholes in Sri Lanka," Thanuri explores how to***co and ni****ne companies are adapting their marketing strategies to the digital age—using social media, influencers, entertainment content, and online communities to normalise ni****ne use among young people despite existing advertising restrictions.

The article highlights how the industry's tactics have evolved from traditional advertising to algorithm-driven promotion and argues that stronger enforcement, platform accountability, and cross-sector collaboration are needed to protect young people from online ni****ne marketing.

Through this compelling advocacy reel, Effie translated a complex issue—the environmental impact of to***co waste—into a simple, engaging, and highly accessible message for the public.

Using the example of Greater Jakarta, the video illustrates how cigarette butts pollute streets, waterways, and oceans, while highlighting the environmental costs borne by communities and governments. It also challenges the to***co industry's environmental narratives and calls for greater accountability for the damage caused by to***co waste.

In Great Britain, many young people who try va**ng say they do so simply 'to give it a try' — driven by curiosity, flavours, peer influence, and social exposure.
