This Father’s Day, let’s celebrate the love, strength, and dedication of dads everywhere by choosing a healthier future.

Whether you're a dad, have one, or look up to one, staying to***co-free is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and your family.
Breathe easier. Live longer. Love stronger.

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom includes the opportunity to live healthy, thriving lives.
Yet decades of targeted menthol cigarette marketing have contributed to significant health disparities in Black communities.

We must continue working toward health equity for all.

The Zyn isn't calming you down.

Think ni****ne pouches help you decompress?
Here's what's actually happening: Ni****ne is a stimulant.
The moment it hits your system, your heart rate spikes, your blood pressure rises, and your nervous system goes on high alert, the opposite of calm. 😤

The "relief" you feel isn't stress going away. It's your body getting a hit of what it's now dependent on. And as the addiction grows, so does your baseline stress level, meaning you need more ni****ne just to feel normal.

It's not a stress reliever. It's a stress cycle. 🔄

Why Young People Are Getting Hooked.
Flavors like mango, mint, and cinnamon aren’t accidental — they are a strategy.

The to***co industry has long targeted young people, and ni****ne pouches are no different.

It's Not Just Ci******es Anymore

Today, the WHO (World Health Organization) and PAHO (Pan American Health Organization) are shining a light on ni****ne pouch tactics worldwide — and so are we.

Ni****ne pouches like Zyn are being marketed as a cleaner alternative, but make no mistake: they are still highly addictive. Ni****ne is ni****ne, no matter the packaging.

🚫 Don’t let sleek branding fool you or your kids.

🚭 Today is World No To***co Day.

To***co and ni****ne products continue to target and addict young people, putting a new generation at risk for lifelong addiction.

This World No To***co Day, we’re raising awareness about the tactics used to make to***co and ni****ne products appealing and reminding everyone that addiction isn’t part of growing up.

You can make a difference by:
✅ Talking with young people about the risks of ni****ne
✅ Supporting to***co-free schools and communities
✅ Taking a 24-hour ni****ne break
✅ Encouraging someone you care about on their quit journey

Together, we can unmask the appeal and build a healthier, to***co-free South Carolina.
