Do It For Them

DO IT FOR THEM is Latino Connection’s smoking cessation program that focuses on educating adults on the effects smoking has on children close to them.

The Aim of the Campaign

To educate adults and parents on the benefit of quitting:
- Preventing their children, nieces, nephews, etc. from smoking in the first place
- Money-saving to invest in the next generations’ lives
To prevent the onset of nicotine and tobacco use
To reduce societal and health burdens of tobacco and nicotine use

DO IT FOR THEM strives to achieve tobacco control from a preventative measure as well as one of shared personal responsibility. DO IT FOR THEM aims to target smokers with statistics regarding how their smoking habit affects their children, grandchildren, young family members and friend’s children and help smokers to understand they have the power to prevent the youth from ever starting the nicotine habit.

What We Did

Facts were shared on digital screens as part of Latino Connection’s Digital Ad Displays program, a series of custom-programmed screens strategically placed in local retail venues such as corner stores, barbershops, dry cleaners, etc. in the cities of Reading and Lancaster, PA.

The educational campaign was made through small events held at various locations where parents and adults frequent: doctor’s offices, colleges, post offices, supermarkets, pet stores, pharmacies, malls, etc.

The campaign will extend to other cities in 2020, reaching and educating more people.
