Let’s look at 15 slogans that can help stop vaping in your school, team, or town.
1. “Your Lungs Deserve Clean Air”
This slogan gets right to the point. It speaks to how vaping hurts the lungs, which many young people don’t think about. The word “deserve” is powerful because it makes people feel they should treat their bodies better.
The beauty of this slogan lies in its simplicity. Anyone can understand it, even small children. You can use it on posters in school halls, on shirts for health events, or as a hashtag online. The message works because it doesn’t scold or blame. Instead, it reminds people that their bodies need care.
You can change this slogan slightly to make it work for different groups. For sports teams, try “Champions Choose Clean Air.” For health classes, you might use “Healthy Lungs Need Clean Air.” These changes keep the main idea but make it fit better for each group.
2. “Vape-Free is the Way to Be”
The fun rhyme in this slogan makes it easy to remember. Young people might even find themselves saying it without thinking. That’s how slogans change minds over time.
This slogan works well because it feels upbeat, not preachy. It presents being vape-free as a positive choice, not just something you’re told to do. The words paint a picture that not vaping is the normal, smart choice. This helps fight the false idea that “everyone vapes.”
For school events, you can add your school name: “Lincoln High: Vape-Free is the Way to Be.” You could also try “Future-Free is the Way to Be” to link the choice to long-term health. This slogan works best when it feels like part of a bigger, positive message about making good choices.
3. “Don’t Let Vaping Cloud Your Future”
This slogan plays on how vaping makes clouds of smoke, but also how it can harm your future. The double meaning makes people stop and think.
The strength of this message is that it looks ahead to the future. Many teens live in the now and don’t think about how today’s choices affect tomorrow. This slogan gently asks them to think bigger. It works well for older teens who are starting to plan their lives after high school.
Some ways to change this slogan include “Clear Skies Ahead: No Vaping” or “Your Future: Too Bright for Vape Clouds.” These keep the theme but switch up the words. This slogan fits well on graduation items or for talks about college and career planning.
4. “Real Friends Don’t Push Vapes”
Many young people start vaping because friends press them to try it. This slogan fights that pressure by redefining what real friendship means.
The message speaks to the heart of peer pressure problems. It tells teens that true friends care about your health and won’t push you to do harmful things. This helps kids who want to say no but worry about losing friends. The slogan gives them backup for standing strong.
You can change this to “Real Teams Don’t Push Vapes” for sports groups. Or try “Real Leaders Don’t Push Vapes” for student councils. This message works best when talking about relationships and making choices based on your own values, not what others want.
5. “Breathe Life, Not Chemicals”
This slogan sets up a clear choice between what’s natural (life, air) and what’s not (vape chemicals). This simple contrast helps people see vaping as something that doesn’t belong in a healthy body.
The power of this slogan comes from the word “life,” which feels big and important. No one wants to choose chemicals over life when it’s put that way. The slogan helps people see vaping as something strange and fake, not cool or grown-up.
For health classes, you could change it to “Choose Life, Skip the Chemicals.” For outdoor clubs, try “Fresh Air, No Chemicals.” This message works well on posters that show healthy lungs next to damaged ones, making the choice even clearer.
6. “Your Body Knows Vaping Is Bad News”
This slogan talks to people in a friendly way about how their bodies react to vaping. The coughing, headaches, and sick feeling are signs that vaping isn’t right.
What makes this slogan special is that it puts the person back in touch with how their body feels. Many vapers ignore these signs. The phrase “bad news” is casual but gets the point across without sounding too scary or preachy.
You could change this to “Listen Up: Your Lungs Hate Vaping” or “Feeling Bad? Your Body Says No to Vapes.” This message works best when paired with facts about how the body reacts to vape chemicals. It helps people connect their own bad feelings to the cause.
7. “Pop the Vape Bubble”
Short and punchy, this slogan calls on people to break free from the “bubble” of vaping culture. It feels active and gives people something to do: pop the bubble!
The slogan works because it treats vaping like a passing fad or a bubble that will burst. This helps teens see that vaping isn’t a forever thing but a trend that can and should end. The action word “pop” makes people feel they have power to make a change.
You can change this to “Be the Pin: Pop the Vape Bubble” or “Our School Pops Vape Bubbles.” This slogan works great for school-wide events where everyone takes action together. It can be fun and even a bit funny while still carrying a serious message.
8. “Vapes Today, Problems Tomorrow”
This straightforward slogan connects present actions to future outcomes. The cause-and-effect message helps young people think past the next few hours or days.
The slogan’s strength is its clear timeline. Many teens don’t connect their current choices with health issues that might show up years later. This simple saying draws that line. The word “problems” covers many issues from health to money to sports performance.
For health classes, you might change it to “Vapes Today, Health Problems Tomorrow.” For sports, try “Vapes Today, Bench Tomorrow.” This message works best when you can back it up with facts about the real problems vaping causes over time. It’s honest without trying to scare people.
9. “Be Smarter Than the Marketing”
This slogan takes a different angle by focusing on the companies that sell vapes, not just on vaping itself. It respects young people’s smarts and asks them to use their brains.
The message speaks to teens as thinking people who can see through ads and hype. It doesn’t tell them what to do but invites them to think about who profits when they vape. Many young people hate being played or tricked, and this slogan taps into that feeling.
You could change this to “See Through the Vape Haze” or “Your Brain > Their Marketing.” This works well for media classes, critical thinking lessons, or any time you’re teaching young people to question what they see and hear. It helps teens feel smart for rejecting vapes.
10. “You Control Your Choices, Not Nicotine”
This empowering slogan reminds people that vaping leads to nicotine addiction, which means losing control. The message is about freedom and keeping your power.
The slogan works by touching on a key teen value: being in control of your own life. No teen wants to feel controlled by anything or anyone. Using the word “you” makes it personal and direct. The slogan helps teens see that starting to vape might mean giving up their freedom later.
For sports teams, you could change it to “Champions Control Their Choices.” For older teens, try “Keep Your Freedom, Ditch the Nicotine.” This message works best when talking about addiction and how hard it is to quit once you start. It helps people think ahead before they begin.
11. “Clear Lungs, Clear Mind”
This simple slogan connects physical health with mental clarity. It reminds people that what goes into their lungs affects their brain too.
The power here comes from the double use of “clear,” which feels clean and positive. The slogan suggests that vaping clouds both your lungs and your thinking. For students who care about doing well in school or sports, this message can be very strong.
You might change this to “Clear Lungs, Better Focus” for study groups or test prep. For sports, try “Clear Lungs, Peak Performance.” This slogan works well when talking about how vaping affects thinking, focus, and mood. It helps people see that vaping has effects beyond just the lungs.
12. “Choose Health, Not Vapes”
This direct slogan puts the choice in simple terms. It makes clear that vaping and health don’t go together. You pick one or the other.
The slogan’s strength is that it’s a positive message about choosing something good (health), not just avoiding something bad. The word “choose” gives people the feeling of power and making their path. This helps the message feel less like an order and more like good advice.
For sports teams, you could say “Choose Winning, Not Vaping.” For school groups, try “Choose Grades, Not Vapes.” This kind of message works well for health fairs, doctor’s offices, or anywhere people are already thinking about their health. It builds on goals they already have.
13. “Vaping Is a Trap”
Four words say it all. This slogan warns that vaping might seem fun at first but turns into something you can’t escape.
The word “trap” is strong because no one wants to be caught or stuck. This slogan helps people see past the cool first impression of vaping to the addiction that often follows. It’s honest and a bit alarming, which can work well with teens who think they know all the facts.
You could change this to “Don’t Fall Into the Vape Trap” or “Spot the Trap: Say No to Vapes.” This message works when talking about how vape companies hook young customers. It helps people feel smart for seeing the trap before they step into it.
14. “Clean Lungs Run Longer”
This slogan speaks to anyone who runs, plays sports, or just wants to be active. It connects vaping directly to something that matters to many young people: sports performance.
The message works because it’s specific about one key benefit of not vaping. Everyone can picture someone huffing and puffing because they can’t keep up. No athlete wants to be that person. The word “clean” helps people picture healthy pink lungs versus dirty, damaged ones.
For specific sports, you can change this to “Clean Lungs Swim Faster” or “Clean Lungs Score More.” This slogan works best with active groups and sports teams. Coaches can use it to help players see how vaping hurts the team, not just the person doing it.
15. “Your Lungs, Your Life, Your Choice”
This final slogan puts the power and duty back on each person. It says that your lungs affect your whole life, and you get to decide how to treat them.
The triple “your” makes this message very personal. It respects that teens will make their own choices but reminds them that those choices have real results. The slogan feels grown-up and treats young people as able to make smart choices when they have good facts.
You might change this to “My Lungs, My Life, My Choice” for people to say for themselves. Or try “Our School, Our Health, Our Choice” for a group pledge. This slogan works well for events where teens take a stand or make promises about healthy choices. It helps them feel in charge of their future.
