FRIDAY
November 9, 2018 1:00 – 2:00 pm EST
Electronic cigarettes, or “vapes,” are now the second-most commonly used drug by teens, lagging only behind alcohol.
As adults who support kids’ health, it is essential to have a current understanding of vapes, vaping culture, and vaping in teen social circles.
Equipped with essential health information about what’s trending, you can help the children in your life make their own healthiest decisions.
Please join FCD Prevention Works’ Prevention Specialist Stacey Wisniewski and Special Guest Stanford’s Dr. Bonnie Halpern-Felsher for this late-breaking webinar on vaping prevention from a cultural and community perspective.
In this interactive session for parents and schools, we will discuss:
- How vapes and other “ENDS,” or electronic nicotine delivery systems, work
- How vapes may vary both in look and adolescent health impact
- Why vapes prime teens for addiction
- Why vapes are so popular, and, most especially,
- How adults like you can prevent teen vape use.
