Vapes are more addictive than ci******es.

Teens who use ni****ne may experience lasting effects on attention, learning, and memory that promote addiction to ni****ne. Many popular brands of vapes contain high levels of ni****ne. Given the right tools and information, parents, educators and other influential adults can make a profound difference in the lives of their children and students by sharing facts that help them stay safe.

Adding another sober day is easier than doing Day One again.

22.3% of adults in North Dakota drink excessively. Most people in this group are not affected by alcoholism or an alcohol use disorder. However, drinking excessively increases their odds of developing an alcohol use disorder later in life, as well as many other health problems. It’s easy to cross the line into higher-risk drinking without realizing it, partly because society makes it easy for us to drink this way.

Many young people believe ma*****na is “safe” because that is what they hear from friends, media, or culture. What often gets left out is how much stronger ma*****na has become over the years. Today’s higher THC levels carry a greater risk for mental health problems like depression, psychosis, and even schizophrenia. That is why it is so important for parents to step in with honest, caring conversations to balance what kids are hearing and to give them the full picture.

It’s complicated.
The alcohol industry provides thousands of jobs for people in North Dakota, fueling livelihoods and bringing us together. North Dakota also grows much of the wheat and barley used in alcohol production — something we’re really proud of. At the same time, excessive drinking comes with heavy costs for all of us, whether we drink or not, from children and families to businesses and communities.
Let's rethink the drink in a way that makes sense for North Dakota.
