Vape

This school year, youth vaping is as big an issue as ever, especially given growing mental health challenges among youth. Behind the bright colors and sweet flavors of e-cigarettes are harmful chemicals and nicotine addiction. Join us to learn the essentials for helping kids avoid or quit vaping. Our virtual presentation Dangers of Vaping: What Parents Need to Know in 2024 will be held on Tuesday, May 14 at 6:00pm Eastern Time. At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

  • Understand and recognize tobacco industry tactics targeting youth

  • Explain the dangers of nicotine e-cigarettes/vapes, non-nicotine vapes, and other new tobacco products

  • Know the steps to protect youth and how to advise others to get involved

  • Take action in their own communities

  • If you can't make it, don't worry! We will be offering this presentation later this year on September 10 and November 19.

Make sure to register for our event on May 14th using the button below. This event is FREE and open to all, including parents, people who work with youth, and others. The recording will be available to all registrants after the webinar.
