Helix House claimed the top spot for the NUS' UHC #ChooseHealthDitchtheVape hostel video campaign! The Helix Publicity Committee collaborated to brainstorm, film, and edit the video, drawing inspiration from the current trend of short films on TikTok and Instagram reels. The focus of the video is to highlight the harmful effects of vaping, not just on individuals, but also on those around them. By emphasising both personal health and the impact on others, the video successfully raises awareness about the dangers of vaping.
