The IHSAA and the Indiana Department of Health have formed a new partnership to combat vaping among teens.

Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box and IHSAA Commissioner Paul Neidig made the announcement Tuesday.

The campaign includes posters for schools to display on campus, a “robust” social media program, a new “Don’t Puff This Stuff” website and radio and television commercials that will be aired on IHSAA broadcast properties throughout the year.

“We’re welcoming the IHSAA to our team with open arms,” Dr. Box said in a statement. “No youth organization in our state is better equipped to communicate with Indiana high school students and their families than the IHSAA.”
