Youth and young adult
Don’t treat your health like an experiment. Vaping has long-term health effects.
It’s not a lifestyle. It’s our life. It’s how we were raised. To know that respect is earned, not given. And our true north is free from cigarettes and chew. Free from addiction. Free from the lies. Free to live.
Comprehensive smoke-free campus policies make it easier for people to resist and quit smoking and can have a tremendous impact on the health of an entire campus community! Speak up, take action, and join the smoke-free movement. For more information please contact netcan@phsd.ca
In 2018, McMaster became Ontario’s first post-secondary institution to adopt a 100% smoke-free policy. Since then, nearly half of the province’s public colleges and universities have implemented comprehensive smoke-free policies. Momentum behind smoke-free post-secondary schools continues to grow, with even more campuses setting policy implementation.
Currently in the North East region, Algoma University is the only campus with a 100% Smoke-Free policy.
We are youth engaged with public health working to provide peers with the uncensored and unfiltered facts about tobacco, vaping, and cannabis.
Know the facts and use your instincts.
Topics include vaping, alcohol and cannabis facts and materials.

A collaboration between the Shkagamik-Kwe Health Centre and Public Health Sudbury & Districts, This is My Tobacco aims to educate youth and community about the traditional uses of sacred tobacco.
Learning about the importance of sacred tobacco can help people make better choices. For example, respecting the use of sacred tobacco may help prevent people from starting to smoke cigarettes.
