How do I help my student stop vaping?

12/20/2018

 
Though options are limited for now, they exist. For starters, parents should recognize that they are confronting an addiction to nicotine, which is hard to break. Take a look at this article for ideas on how to help your teen.
How to Help Teenagers Quit Vaping

Teen Vaping actually IS a "big deal"

12/5/2018

 
There are many reasons to be concerned about teen vaping. Taking the lead is the fact that "studies find teens who use e-cigarettes have an increased risk of trying combustible cigarettes. The significant rise in e-cigarette use among both high school and middle school student populations has resulted in overall tobacco product use increases of 38 percent among high school students and 29 percent among middle school students between 2017 and 2018, negating declines seen in the previous few years.This is a cause for concern because tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States and because nearly all tobacco products contain nicotine. As adolescent brains are still developing, nicotine exposure during youth and young adulthood can change the way the brain works, leading to a lifetime of addiction and, in some cases, causing long-lasting effects such as increased impulsivity and mood disorders." For more information please visit the FDA's Tobacco Education site and the FDA’s Youth Tobacco Prevention Plan.
