Epidemic of Teen Vaping
Member Dr. Linda Cook gave an informative and thought provoking presentation on the increasing epidemic of vaping among teens. The vaping industry markets directly to our youth with flavored vape. The vaping tool is even discreet enough to be used during class, in a bathroom, or airplane. Even though, vaping is considered safer than cigarettes, they are not healthy. Vaping alters our brain and enhances anxiety and depression. If your teen is vaping, help them get over their addiction. Vaping and smoking are both serious addictions. Be supportive! Additionally, help advocate for 21 and older for smoking/vaping and discontinue the sale of flavored vapes. Seize the sale of vapes online that make it easy for teens to access.
