THIS IS A CAMPAIGN CREATED
BY YOUNG PEOPLE,
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
NO LECTURES.
NO JUDGEMENT.
JUST REAL, AUTHENTIC STORIES
SHARED BY YOUNG PEOPLE IN GIPPSLAND.

No Filter: Real Stories Gippsland is a youth-led campaign sharing real experiences of vaping. The good, the bad and everything in between.

Created by young people across Gippsland, these stories are here to start honest conversations, challenge the hype and show what vaping actually looks like in real life.

WHY IT MATTERS

A cardboard box labeled 'BANDAGES' contains various office supplies, including pens, markers, a notebook, and some cords.

Through this campaign, young people in Gippsland told us they wanted:

REAL STORIES,
NOT SCARE TACTICS.

HONEST CONVERSATIONS,
NOT LECTURES.

SUPPORT,
NOT JUDGEMENT.

So that’s what this is.
