🎓 Before your high school graduate celebrates, take a moment to talk with them about making graduation events alcohol-free. It’s a simple conversation that can make a big difference.

🚨 Parents/Coaches/Teachers/Aunts/Uncles/Grandparents: Have you noticed how many va**ng and ni****ne products are suddenly everywhere? Gas stations. Convenience stores. Smoke shops. Social media. Online ads.

You are not imagining it — and you are definitely not alone.

Ni****ne products targeting youth are evolving fast. Beyond vapes, products like ni****ne pouches are being marketed as “clean,” discreet, and even as a performance or lifestyle boost. Influencers often promote them in ways that make them seem harmless.

Meanwhile, companies continue using:
⚠️ Appealing flavors
⚠️ Bright colors and sleek packaging
⚠️ “Smart vapes” and new technology
⚠️ Easy-to-hide products designed to attract youth

It can feel overwhelming trying to keep up.
That’s why Parents Against Va**ng is hosting a virtual session to help break it all down clearly and practically. Learn:
✔️ Signs your youth may be va**ng or using ni****ne
✔️ Practical strategies to help protect and support your child
Knowledge is one of the best prevention tools we have. Stay informed. Stay connected. 💙
