FCB and FDA show just how far teens would go to vape in the newest evolution of 'The Real Cost' youth tobacco prevention campaign with a new creative launch titled 'Addiction Isn't Pretty'. Teaming up with award-winning documentary filmmaker Katina Mercadante, the FCB New York campaign displays real-life situations surrounding teens who do whatever it takes to vape in a series of riveting commercials. As the stories shown are based on true events, Mercadante used non-actor teens to capture the true essence and authenticity of these crucial moments. While many teens are finally realising the true detriments of vaping and nicotine, over 27% of high school students were still using e-cigarettes in 2019. 'Addiction Isn’t Pretty', inspired by actual anecdotes pulled from social media, dives deep into the mindset of teens across the country and depicts 'the real cost' of vaping. In one clip, two friends are gossiping in a bathroom stall, when the friend accidentally drops her vape in the toilet. She fishes it out and proceeds to use it, much to her friend’s disgust. Another segment features a real-life family, in which the teenaged son anxiously waits for the right moment to swipe money from his mother’s purse. He finally does, but not without escaping his younger brother’s gaze.
