Schools have always played an essential role in protecting students and their health. Today, educators and school nursing staff are often the first to see the signs and impacts of youth vaping. We created this resource to support our school partners with trusted tools that promote prevention, early intervention, and healthier choices.
Together, we can ensure students have the information and support they need to prevent vaping or find help to stop, supporting their overall health and success—in school and beyond!
