Educational Resources to Prevent Vaping in Minors
Many schools around the country are seeing an increase in the use of e-cigarettes, better known as "vapes," in minors. Students in younger and younger grades are experimenting with their use. While these are legal for adult use, they are incredibly addictive and harmful to minors. Throughout this year, I will include information related to preventing the use of vapes by our teens and pre-teens. Please reach out to our office if you are in need of additional resources or support in preventing the use of vapes by your child!
What's Hiding in Plain Sight?
Visit the website to view what common objects can be disguised as vapes or other items.
