The BIG

11. Our Vision
Our vision is to raise awareness about the harmful effects of underage nicotine
abuse so that teenagers make the health conscious decision to avoid nicotine on
their own.
We want to focus on encouraging independent decisions through understanding
of what nicotine can cause.

12. Action Plan
● Awareness presentations
○ Visualize the problem
○ Vaping vs. cigarettes
○ Their choice, their future
● Website providing further
information & resources
● Awareness posters
● Nicotine hotlines & chat rooms

13. Steps for Implementation
1. Raising awareness in schools with the help of trained professionals and via
advertisement campaigns.
2. Spreading the word of rehabilitation centres that help with nicotine addiction
recovery.
3. Promoting healthier alternatives to nicotine-based products.
4. Solving the problem from the roots of addiction.

15. Establish ourselves
as a non-profit
organisation.
Gain financial support from
philanthropists such as
Thomas Siebel.
Print advertisements and begin to meet
first objective of raising awareness.
Hire a marketing campaign including
psychologists to understand why teens
are getting addicted and produce a
campaign to work around that addressing
the root of addiction and allowing it to be
overcome
Provide information in these
advertisements as to the
Nicotine Anonymous website
to prevent relapses.
Encourage the consumption of substitutes
lacking nicotine by advertising them and
offering financial support to act as a
quasi-subsidy to increase production, and
the availability of alternatives means
decreased nicotine consumption.Rally for government
support to discourage
the consumption of
nicotine as a demerit
good and for
microeconomic
policies.
A decrease in nicotine
consumption
Government policies would include but
not be limited to taxes, minimum prices,
production caps, regulation, etc.
