JUULing: What Parents Need to Know Informational Event
Join us for a parenting program as Council on Chemical Abuse Prevention Specialist, Teresa Detweiler, discusses vaping and JUULing: What Parents Need to Know. This informational event will be held
March 7, 2019, from 6:30- 8 pm, in the Wilson West Auditorium.
Teen vaping and JUULing has reached “epidemic proportions,” according to The Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While there are many types of e-cigarettes, the most popular and, therefore, the most dangerous among them is the JUUL, which has swept through middle schools and high schools, creating a new generation of smokers. Because the JUUL is less recognizable than other e-cigarette devices, parents might not even realize their child is vaping. Attendees will learn about the health risks of JUUL and how they perpetuate nicotine addiction. Come hear about this new trend and learn about the impact these electronic cigarette devices can have on our youth.
