We are the PURPLE team of the East Farms Student Council. We are excited to be working in collaboration with the American Lung Association. We have been studying how to maintain healthy habits so that we can keep our lungs healthy.
Did you know that nearly 8,000 kids start vaping every day? Smoking and vaping affects nearly every organ in our bodies and causes many other diseases including putting you at a higher risk for the coronavirus. Both smoking and vaping are highly addictive and harmful to children's brain development because they contain chemicals like nicotine.
You can help us encourage our friends and family to not smoke or vape by donating to the American Lung Association. The funds we raise will help support tobacco cessation and prevention programming in Connecticut and nationwide. Donate today, any amount is welcome, to create a tobacco free future for all of us!
Thank you from the PURPLE TEAM and remember to keep your lungs healthy!
