Tobacco Use Prevention Education (TUPE)

We Lit - Anti-Tobacco performance

The tobacco industry is persistent. So are we.

They keep finding new ways to target our youth, so we keep finding ways to fight against them. Revamped for the 2022/2023 school year, our anti-vaping concert builds on our established TUPE work with updated information and a new focus on youth advocacy. Using the theme “Time For Some Action”, this concert features songs and videos targeting tobacco-use prevention and education about smoking and vaping.

Anti-Vaping and Anti-Tobacco Videos

Assembly Preview

We use songs, videos, facts, and figures to teach about the dangers of vaping and smoking. Before watching the full show, check out this preview of our virtual assembly.

"Vape Chemicals" Song

Is vaping and smoking the same? Different? More dangerous? Less dangerous? Listen and hear about chemicals found in both vape products and cigarettes then decide for yourself.

"Say No To Vapes" Song

Every movement needs a theme song. This song encourages youth to resist temptation as we expose the vaping industry.

"No Smoke" Song

Join Mr. Q-U-E and Mr. D in making the pledge to live a healthy life by avoiding tobacco and staying smoke free.

Anti-Vaping Songwriting Workshop

With the help of Music Notes artists, students across the country have written their own anti-vaping songs. Why don't you try writing your own song?

"Don't Smoke" Student Video Recording

Not only have we helped students write their own songs; we've even recorded anti-vaping music videos for students. Check out these students at Aspire Community School.
