In Colorado, many teens are exposed to va**ng long before parents realize it. Flavored products, social media trends, and peer pressure can make it look harmless – but ni****ne can impact brain development, attention, mood, and increase the risk of long-term addiction.

Start the conversation early. Ask open-ended questions. Listen more than you lecture. Teens who feel supported and informed are less likely to start using ni****ne products.

Your voice matters more than you think. 💙

En Colorado, muchos adolescentes se ven expuestos al vapeo mucho antes de que sus padres se den cuenta. Los productos con sabores, las tendencias en las redes sociales y la presión de los compañeros pueden hacer que parezca inofensivo; sin embargo, la nicotina puede afectar el desarrollo cerebral, la atención y el estado de ánimo, además de aumentar el riesgo de desarrollar una adicción a largo plazo.
Inicie la conversación desde temprano. Formule preguntas abiertas. Escuche más de lo que sermonea. Los adolescentes que se sienten apoyados e informados tienen menos probabilidades de comenzar a consumir productos con nicotina.
Su voz importa más de lo que cree. 💙
