Depression Stick + Breath of Stress Air

Young people start vaping to decrease anxiety, depression, & stress, but they don’t know vaping can amplify those feelings. Enter “Depression Stick,” the first vape brand to tell the truth. We acted like every vape brand: we pitched convenience stores, influencers, and lobbyists to show young people how vape brands sell depression and anxiety. We followed with a wellness ad, “Breath of Stress Air,” to show young people vaping doesn’t actually relieve stress. The result: young people who saw the campaign agreed: Buying vapes is like buying depression and anxiety.

Metal In Your Lungs Is Scary Enough

In 2019, the vast majority of teens thought vapes contained nothing more dangerous than water vapor. We needed to persuade at last 5% more teens that vaping was dangerous to their health. Our campaign “Scary Enough” had a dramatic impact on teen perceptions, convincing 17.6% more teens–from a base of 58.3% to 76.9%--that vapes contained toxic metals that could damage their lungs. By January of 2021, the number of teens who believed vapes were harmful had risen to 85%.
