Stand together against big tobacco
No Limits is Nebraska’s youth-led tobacco prevention movement. We are about youth empowerment and social change. Our goal is to expose and oppose Big Tobacco’s manipulation. We educate people about the effects that the tobacco industry has on our most vulnerable populations. Through activism, teens across the state come together and minimize the tobacco industry’s influence in Nebraska. With your participation, we can work towards making us a healthier state!

We've been so busy with MATL event this weekend, we almost forgot about National Pet Day!
Smoking does not just affect you—it can also harm your pets. Smoke residue can settle in dust, carpets, and rugs and when your furry friend rolls on the floor, the residue gets on their fur and they can ingest it. Ready to quit? The Nebraska Tobacco Quitline can help. Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW. #NEQuitline

Who’s That Wednesday: Elaina Riley
Hey Instagram! My name is Elaina Riley and I have been involved with No Limits for six years. I am a freshman at Peru State College in Peru, Nebraska. I originally joined No Limits with a group of friends my freshman year of high school, and I have enjoyed it so much that I am still involved! My main area of interest is tobacco’s impact on the environment, as well as youth empowerment. I hope you enjoyed hearing a bit about me! Come join me at our virtual events or the upcoming Summer Summit.

Many popular e-cigarettes use single-use plastic cartridges. The result of this is toxic and plastic waste. Users don’t dispose of their pods and devices properly, throwing them in the trash or on the ground. The root of this problem is the manufacturers that do not provide appropriate disposal methods for consumers.

Throwback Thursday to Kick Butts Day 2019! Former board members, Kallyn Antholz and Miranda Shreves spoke to Senator Pansing Brooks (District 28) about tobacco related issues they saw in their everyday lives. Meeting the senators and educating them on tobacco issues is an important role we need to take to make this generation TOBACCO FREE!
