How to talk to your kids about Vaping: 

 Tobacco  includes cigarettes and other products that can contain tobacco or nicotine.

Such as:

“vapes”, “vape pens”, “vaporizers”, “e-cigs”, “PV”, “mods” and “smoke juice”.

Traditional cigarettes, cigars or pipes, chew tobacco

We encourage you to visit our partners sites that contain updated information and options for quitting.  

We strongly encourage prevention efforts to limit experimentation with these products.  It is best if people never start using these products given the difficulty to stop or quit.
