Magpie are collaborating with the Breathe Together campaign, commissioned through Tobacco Control and Public Health leads in Yorkshire and the Humber.
The aim:
Inspire people to advocate a new smoke-free generation
Stories of lived experiences:
Magpie would like to come along and speak with people at various settings/groups/communities/
Perhaps they have a passionate view as to why they believe a smoke-free generation would create happier, healthier lives. If the negative effects of smoking tobacco has had an impact on their own health, or their loved ones and they would want the new generation to grow up being able to live smoke-free, we’d love to hear from them.
They aim to collect these stories initially as testimonials/quotes and stories, to be added to the website in written form, with their name, age and general area that they live in across the Y&H region. Real photos/snaps can be taken on smartphones if they are happy to have it associated with their story.
Future aspirations for the next phase of the campaign:
They hope to follow up with some of these advocates in the next phase of the campaign to have some professional photos and motivational videos taken amplifying their stories for social media, PR, and the website too.

“We are looking for a variety of stories from different viewpoints, motivations and perspectives, across multiple generations and various family dynamics. From smokers, ex-smokers and non-smokers – to hear why you would prefer ‘smoking’ to not be around for future generations, and to inspire and motivate others to champion a new smoke-free generation.”
