This social media toolkit was prepared by the Thirdhand Smoke Resource Center, whose mission is to share information, resources, and technical support with California’s residents, communities, businesses, health care professionals, and policymakers about the toxic legacy of tobacco smoke residue and to achieve indoor environments that are 100% free of tobacco smoke toxicants. Since 2018, the Thirdhand Smoke Resource Center has reviewed, curated, and disseminated the latest thirdhand smoke-related science.
The purpose of this toolkit is to make these resources publicly available for use by other tobacco control and tobacco prevention advocacy groups and individuals. The toolkit is divided into two sections:
- Overview Posts – Social media posts (single or swipe) intended to provide a broad overview of thirdhand smoke.
- Awareness Days/Months – Social media posts (single or swipe) intended for use in a specified month or on a specified day.
Each post in this toolkit includes the following three content areas:
1) An image
2) A caption
3) Suggested hashtags
Note that some platforms will have character or hashtag limits that might require some editing of our suggested content.
Please tag the Thirdhand Smoke Resource Center when you use our posts:
