Napranum - Stop Passing It Down - Tackling Indigenous Smoking

Stop Passing It Down – Napranum We are proud to present this inspiring project, a collaboration between Apunipima, Grand Trine Creative, and Napranum PCYC. Over the course of a week, we worked closely with the Napranum community to promote a smoke and vape-free lifestyle in Cape York. The Youth of Napranum have created a powerful song with the chorus, “be a good leader, be a good mate, no peer pressure for the smoke or the vape,” encouraging their peers to stay smoke and vape-free. Join us in supporting their message and fostering a healthier future for all. Watch, share, and help us spread the word about living smoke and vape-free. Together, we can inspire healthier, happier futures for Cape York!
