👨‍👩‍👧✨ Parents—your voice matters. ✨👨‍👩‍👦
Youth who have open, honest conversations with their parents about va**ng are far less likely to ever start. 🚭

This No V**e November, take a few minutes to:
💬 Ask what your child knows about va**ng.
👂 Listen without judgment.
💡 Share the facts and your expectations.

Your guidance today can shape their choices tomorrow. 💙

Let’s work together to keep our kids v**e-free.

🚭🤰 Did you know? Smoking or va**ng during pregnancy can harm both mom and baby.

❌ Increases risk of premature birth
❌ Raises chances of low birth weight
❌ Can affect brain and lung development

Choosing to stay to***co- and v**e-free during pregnancy protects two lives at once. 💙✨

This No V**e November, let’s spread the word: the healthiest choice for moms and babies is no ni****ne, no v**es, no smoke. The GIFTS program makes quitting
smoking or va**ng during pregnancy easier with free support and vouchers for diapers and other essential baby items. Contact your local health department for
more information.

More than 27 v**es are thrown away every second, amounting to more than 850 million v**es that end up in the street or the landfill each year. Each disposable e-cigarette contains a lithium battery, which can explode and lead to fires, as well as chemicals that can leak into the environment. E-cigarettes left on the street eventually break down into microplastics and chemicals that flow into the storm drains to pollute our waterways.

When people quit ni****ne, they’re helping reduce the amount of electronic waste that ends up in the environment while also breaking free from addiction.
