In terms of stats, since FCB NY launched “The Real Cost” in 2014, it has successfully prevented nearly 587,000 youth from smoking cigarettes, and for each teen prevented from becoming a smoker, there was $180,000 in cost savings – which means the campaign has averted over $53 billion in future medical costs, to date.

“My Vaping Mistake,” created in partnership with AwesomenessTV, a teen-first platform, marks the first time “The Real Cost” is using real teens to share individual real-life testimonials. The interview series centers on 14 teens who have grappled with vaping and covers themes including sports performance, peer pressure, anxiety and depression, and addiction impacting the future: issues that not only the interview subjects can relate to, but many other teens as well.
