Think Va**ng Is Safer Than Smoking? Think Again! 🚭

While va**ng might seem like a "safer" alternative to ci******es, the reality isn’t so clear. Here’s why:

💨 Ni****ne Danger: Most e-ci******es contain high levels of ni****ne, which can harm brain development in teens and lead to long-term addiction.

💨 Chemical Exposure: Vapes contain chemicals like formaldehyde and diacetyl, which are linked to lung damage. Even if it smells fruity, it’s not harmless!

Don’t let the sleek designs and flashy flavors fool you—va**ng is not a risk-free habit. Protect your lungs, your brain, and your future. 💪✨

Parents, as the school year approaches, watch for hidden v**es. There are hoodies with drawstrings that enable a person to take a discreet hit. Items such as potato chip containers, brushes, shaving cream containers, etc., with hidden compartments that may have been intended to hide money and legitimate items, but are often used to hide v**es, cannabis, etc. There is even a v**e watch now--it looks and acts like a watch, but it is also a v**e.

, educate yourselves on what to look for by doing an online search. Explore Google, Reddit, and use an AI such as Chat GPT to help you know what to look for. And remember to have conversations with your kids about the dangers of va**ng.

Today’s e-ci******es are more kid-friendly and addictive than ever – and most are on the market illegally. They’re disguised as backpacks, smartphone cases, highlighters and video games. Some devices contain more ni****ne than 20 packs of ci******es.
To protect kids, the FDA and other agencies must step up efforts to clear the market of these illegal products.
