Teen Vaping: Risks, Parental Actions, and Quitting Strategies

Vaping among teens is becoming more common due to appealing flavors and easy-to-use devices.

It's as bad for you as smoking and can get you hooked on nicotine, which messes with your brain and makes it tough to quit.

If you catch your teen vaping, don't yell.

Talk calmly, explain why it's harmful, and help them seek professional help.

It's important to keep talking openly and honestly, so your child feels comfortable talking to you, even about hard stuff.

Help them understand that resisting the urge to vape is difficult, but it's a skill they can improve.
