This campaign is in response to Governor Kate Brown’s Executive Order 19-09 issued October 4, 2019, which directed state agencies to take strong action to address the vaping public health crisis. It is also connected to the state’s response to COVID-19, as initial research shows that people who smoke may be more likely to develop serious complications from COVID-19 than people who don’t smoke, similar to other respiratory infections.
