Mothers Against Vaping celebrates mother-child bond with Special Mother’s Day Campaign

New Delhi, 13 May 2024: Mothers Against Vaping, a united front of concerned mothers combatting the escalating vaping crisis among our youth, on the occasion of Mother’s Day has launched a unique campaign. The campaign seeks to transform the customary act of giving gifts on Mother’s Day into a powerful pledge from children to their mothers – a promise to never touch new-age gateway devices like vapes and e-cigarettes.

By taking this pledge, children are not only expressing their appreciation for their mothers but also safeguarding themselves against the dangers of addiction and associated health risks posed by these new-age devices.

In the spirit of Mother’s Day, Mothers Against Vaping believes that the greatest gift a child can give to their mother is a commitment to prioritize their health and well-being by rejecting such harmful new-age addictive devices. These devices come in various forms including vapes, e-cigarettes and ‘heat-not-burn’ pens and are loaded with harmful substances like nicotine, diacetyl which are linked to serious lung disease. These devices also include cancer-causing chemicals and heavy metals like nickel, tin and lead.

Talking about the relevance of such a campaign, Dr. Bhavna Barmi, Clinical Psychologist, Founder, Happiness Studio said, “These new-age devices come in attractive appearances and child-friendly flavours but are a serious threat as children once addicted to these gateway devices can be lured into experimenting with more harmful substances. We need more such innovative campaigns to spread awareness among children as well as parents to highlight the dangers of vaping.”

“It is a mother’s right to safeguard the health of her children above all else and Mother’s Day is a beautiful occasion to highlight this aspect of a mother-child bond. By pledging to abstain from vaping, children are not only expressing their love for their mothers but also making a conscious and wise choice to prioritize their own health and well-being. Such choices set them on a path of happiness and a contended life, free from any addictive behaviours,” Dr. Barmi added.

The week-long “Mother’s Day Pledge Campaign,” is already underway and will lead up to Mother’s Day on May 12, 2024. During the campaign, Mothers Against Vaping is encouraging all mothers to join the campaign and initiate conversations with their children about the dangers of vaping. By fostering open communication and setting positive examples, mothers can play a pivotal role in steering their children away from these harmful habits and towards healthier lifestyles.

Appreciating mothers’ unconditional love and support

Quote by Yashika Arora on Mother’s day

Mother’s Day honors the extraordinary women who change our lives with their constant support, unending love, and selfless sacrifices. It’s a day to recognize the remarkable contribution moms make to our lives and to show our appreciation for their constant dedication.

We consider the tremendous impact that mothers have on forming our identities, nurturing our aspirations, and establishing in us the values that direct our life’s path on this unique day. They are our first teachers from the minute we are born, providing support, comfort, and encouragement at every turn. A mother’s love has no boundaries; it is unfailing, unconditional, and a source of comfort and strength during the ups and downs of life. She is our strongest supporter, our toughest partner, and our most reliable confidante. Her presence brightens our darkest days and fills our hearts with love.

Mother’s Day, however, is a day to recognize all women who have provided us with nurturing in our lives, whether as stepmothers, grandmothers, aunts, or mentors. It’s not only a day to celebrate biological mothers. Their love is unconditional; it embraces us with open arms and hearts despite differences in bloodlines and family relationships. Let’s take a moment on Mother’s Day to show our gratitude for the innumerable sacrifices moms make, many of which go unnoticed or unrewarded. Knowing that their love will continue to lead us long after they are gone, let us treasure the memories we have made together and the lessons we have learnt.

I express my gratitude to all mothers and my mother Mrs. Bhawana Arora for their unwavering strength, unselfish devotion, and unconditional love. I honor you now and every day for the lasting impression you have on my heart. Happy Mother’s day Maa
