Our Tackle Tobacco & Anti-Vaping Campaign is presented by James Cotton, a former Ohio State Buckeye and professional football player which explains the importance of a tobacco-vape free lifestyle by illustrating the short and long-term effects of tobacco use and vaping. By sharing real life experiences and testimonies, Mr. Cotton states essential life skills are developed over time. These characteristics are not something you are born with. He shares his keys to success: commitment, discipline and self-worth. These skills are developed with mental and physical repetitions. Over 100, 000 youths have been impacted with this campaign. Looking forward to providing more inspiration.

He won the Grey Cup Championship with the Calgary Stampeders in 2001 and finished his career with the Hamilton Tigercats.
This former NFL Draft pick loves spending quality time with his beautiful wife Hannah and their four children Veronica, Vallory, Vaughn, and Vannah. He is an alumnus of City College of San Francisco and graduate of The Ohio State University. Mr. Cotton is actively involved in the community by providing free football camps for kids with special needs and underprivileged youth to attend throughout the state of Ohio.
