The rise of e-cigarettes among young people has become one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time. With sleek designs and aggressive marketing, vaping companies have successfully cultivated a new generation of nicotine users—many of whom mistakenly believe these products are harmless.

In response, schools are turning to a proven strategy: out-of-home advertising. Unlike digital ads that can be skipped or blocked, physical signage in hallways, near athletic fields, and at bus stops demands attention. This passive exposure builds awareness over time, while signaling that the institution and surrounding community take the issue seriously.

The most effective campaigns share key characteristics. They prioritize authenticity over scare tactics, knowing that today's students can spot manipulative messaging instantly. They feature peer voices and relatable imagery rather than obvious stock photography. And perhaps most importantly, they reframe the conversation around corporate manipulation—appealing to teenagers' desire for independence by positioning resistance to vaping as an act of defiance rather than mere compliance with adult rules.

Physical advertising works best when integrated into comprehensive prevention programs. A poster alone won't change behavior, but the same poster reinforcing lessons from health class and peer education creates a coherent ecosystem of support.
