While many youth and young adults understand the dangers of smoking tobacco, e-cigarettes and vaping devices are now addicting youth to nicotine instead of cigarettes.
Schools provide an ideal setting to educate young people about e-cigarettes and vaping to help prevent them from starting to vape and support youth looking to quit.
The Not An Experiment initiative was developed in response to the need for teaching tools to help address youth vaping. More information about this initiative, the resources available and the support the health unit’s smoke-free program can provide can be found here.
