Vaping, Youth, and Stress
E-cigarettes, or vapes, are battery-operated devices that heat a liquid and produce an aerosol. Vapes come in many shapes and sizes, and they typically contain nicotine. No tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, are safe, especially for youth. Parents, educators, and health care providers play an important role in helping youth reject or quit tobacco use, including e-cigarette use. Talk with youth about vaping, help them understand the risks, and empower them to practice healthy behaviors and positive coping skills.
