It’s Red Ribbon Week, a nationally recognized youth drug prevention campaign. Here’s a fact: Most vape users show signs of nicotine addiction—cravings, using without thinking, irritability when quitting. 80% of MN teen vapers feel dependent. Remember you're stronger than nicotine. Take back control, one choice at a time.
Here’s a tip to quit: Avoid triggers — like certain people, places, or routines tied to vaping. Change the pattern to change the habit.
Tomorrow’s final dress up day for Red Ribbon Week is dress in an appropriate Halloween costume to say BOO TO DRUGS! If you plan to dress up tomorrow remember no masks, no weapons and no inflatable costumes.

💬 Call to Action:
Start Red Ribbon Week by choosing to protect your brain. Make one small choice today to stay drug-free.
Don’t forget to wear crazy socks tomorrow to sock it to drugs!
