Viral Challenges
Are you one of those who accept any challenge? We offer you a series of viral challenges designed to raise social awareness and fight against bad habits and illnesses.
Viral challenges do not always have to be foolish or dangerous. Surely you have seen hundreds of them on social networks; some are very fun, others support a great cause, and yet others can have serious consequences.
Due to their success worldwide, various associations and groups have wanted to take advantage of the trend to raise awareness about social problems and illnesses. The first to start this wave of viral challenges for awareness was the one carried out by people with ALS. Many celebrities and ordinary people joined in to raise funds for research on this disease.
Do you remember what this viral challenge consisted of? Nothing more and nothing less than pouring a bucket of ice-cold water over your head. A refreshing challenge aimed at making people who do not suffer from this disease feel what a person with this condition experiences every day.
The New Viral Challenges for Awareness
The ice bucket challenge opened the floodgates; since then, new projects have followed to support and give visibility to other causes. We tell you which are the most popular.
Ten Years Challenge
Surely you have done this viral challenge that consists of uploading two photographs showing the change you have undergone in the last 10 years. You must have laughed a lot at the looks of some of your friends and family and some celebrities. This challenge was followed by millions of people worldwide who were encouraged to post their best photos. Therefore, from environmental platforms, images were published showing the effects of climate change over the last ten years.

In this other one, we can see how the melting of the poles affects the animals that live there and how the lack of food makes them ill.
Non Smoking Challenge
The campaigns carried out to reduce tobacco consumption in our country seem insufficient, as many people continue smoking despite knowing the health risks. It is estimated that 25 percent of young people over 15 years old are regular smokers, so the Ministry of Health has launched the #nonsmokingchallenge.
Tobacco use is behind many premature deaths in Spain, so this viral challenge aims to promote healthy consumption habits away from tobacco. If you already smoke, there is still time to quit since you will soon notice the benefits it brings you.
Dare to share this challenge with your friends so they stay away from this habit that will make you lose years of life and that the quality of it will be much worse when you are older. Also, have you thought about the benefits of not smoking for your wallet? With the money a person spends on tobacco, they can save to make a good trip, attend more music festivals, or buy a new phone.
This challenge is designed for young people, whether smokers or not, since with your attitude you challenge society and eliminate forever this harmful habit for everyone. We leave you a video so you can see what it consists of and how you can challenge your friends through social networks. Now it’s time to test your imagination and use all your means to get your friends to quit smoking.
