It's that time of the year where kids are heading back to school! In 2019, a study found that around 63% of public schools were located within 1,000 feet of a to***co retailer. E-cigarettes are the most commonly used to***co product among students & most youth who use e-cigarettes want to quit.

Parents, please! Don't let the To***co Industry hook your kids for a lifetime of addiction.

Find out what va**ng devices are like and talk with your kids about va**ng!

World No To***co Day is recognized annually and is dedicated to raising awareness about the health risks from to***co use. The theme for World No To***co Day 2024 is "protecting children from to***co industry interference." This year, the focus is being put on the deceitful and targeted marketing strategies that the to***co industry uses toward youth. Learn more at https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-no-to***co-day/2024
