Va**ng is Dangerous to Young Children: It's poison to the brain
Stop Kids from Va**ng!
Does Your Child V**e? Did you know that kids as early as ten years old begin to experiment va**ng? Did you know that according to the National Youth To***co Survey, in 2022, 2.5 million youth in middle and high schools in vaped? And did you know that E-Cigarettes are as poisonous and dangerous to kids’ health as to***co and inhaling secondhand aerosol is as detrimental to health as secondhand smoke?
Yes!! To***co manufacturers have redesigned and repackaged ni****ne in to***co as flavored E- ci******es and made them attractive to kids! Teens can use E-ci******es without being detected because they are designed to like writing pens, USB drives, phone cases, smart watches and having aromatic flavors. Parents should be on the watch to protect their kids from being hooked to vapes. According to the California Department of Public Health, half of all people hospitalized with breathing problems from vapes are teenagers and young adults. This summer, parents, please have a discussion with your teens about the health risks associated with va**ng. Simply said, Va**ng is not safe at all to young children. Let’s stop them before they try it. If you suspect your teen is va**ng or using any to***co product, please contact 1-800-784-8669; or visit www.lungsrus.org.
