Providing Critical Awareness, Prevention and Educational Programs to Address Youth Mental Health, Alcohol, and Substance Misuse

Youth nicotine use in any form is unsafe. Nicotine is harmful to developing brains: younger users are more likely to become addicted, have more difficulty quitting and may be at higher risk for addiction to other substances in the future.

E-cigarette use among young people, many of whom were not smokers in the first place, remains at epidemic levels. 

Over 2.5 million middle and high school students use e-cigarettes with nearly half (46%) of high schoolers who vape doing so near daily.
