SE2 Community Storytelling: Skylar’s New Stress Release

Although many people who smoke or vape see nicotine as a stress relief tool, they’re actually stuck in a cycle of temporary relief quickly followed by cravings or withdrawal symptoms that raise their anxiety. Instead, getting free from nicotine reduces symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems. In a new video from Tobacco Free Colorado, Skylar, a Colorado Springs resident, talks about their experience getting hooked on cigarettes and finding that rather than providing a release from their stress, it just made their health worse. Instead, Skylar found a better outlet and took charge of their health and their life. Watch Skylar’s story and share the video with your community.
