The Save Your Breath Loudest Student Section Challenge is back! But this isn't just about bragging rights—it's about coming together as a community to make a positive change.
We are excited to once again partner with the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to encourage students like you to drop the vape or never pick it up. Vote today and pledge to "save your breath" for activities that truly matter: cheering on your team, showing school spirit, and excelling on and off the field.
Vaping can make it harder for you to achieve your goals, both academically and athletically. It causes brain fog, anxiety, and poor athletic performance and it can worsen depression. People may know that nicotine is addicting, but they likely don’t realize it can rewire the teenage brain.
So, drop the vape! And get loud for your team! You can’t be loud if you can’t breathe!
Voting is unlimited from September 1st – October 30th!
Now that you’ve voted, what else can you do?
- Know the Facts about Vapes: Did you know that there are more than 31 chemicals in a vape including butanoic acid, also found in vomit? Or that the nicotine in most vape pods is equal to 30 cigarettes? Visit vapesdown.yesquit.org for resources about vaping and how to quit.
- Pledge to Save Your Breath: Commit to being vape free and encourage your friends to do the same.
- Show Your Spirit: Rally your school to vote daily and climb the leaderboard. Get creative with posters, banners, and videos showcasing your spirit and commitment to being vape free. Tag us for a chance to be featured!
