🚫 No smoke ≠ no risk.

Ni****ne pouches might look small and harmless, but they can have real health consequences for teens:

🦷 Gum damage: Sitting on your gums can cause irritation, recession, and early gum disease
💔 Heart stress: Ni****ne increases heart rate and blood pressure, putting strain on your heart
🧠 Brain impact: Ni****ne can affect attention, memory, and mood especially in a developing teen brain
⚠️ Addiction risk: Easy to hide and use often, ni****ne pouches can quickly lead to dependence

Even small pouches can have big effects. Know the risks and make choices that protect your health.

🍀 Everyone talks about luck today…
But real luck is having good friends and being one.

Be kind. Include others. Respect people.
That’s the kind of “luck” that actually matters 💛

🍃 Ma*****na & Youth: The Facts Matter

📊 The brain develops until age 25.
Ma*****na use during this time can impact memory, focus, and decision-making.

📊 1 in 6 teens who start using before age 18 will develop a cannabis use disorder.

📊 Today’s ma*****na products are significantly more potent than in the past.

Prevention starts with awareness.
Healthy communities are built on informed choices.

When we believe in ourselves, we’re more likely to make healthy choices, speak up, and step away from situations that don’t feel right.
Prevention starts with self-worth. 💖

Children of addiction often grow up too fast, learning how to survive instead of how to be kids.

During Children of Addiction Awareness Week, we’re shining a light on the silent strength of young people impacted by substance use in their families and reminding them they are not alone, not invisible, and not to blame.

Awareness leads to compassion. Compassion leads to prevention. 💛
