It's V**e Facts Friday. It's important to talk about the dangers of ni****ne and other substance use with our kids. We need to protect them and guide them to make good choices. It's also important to talk about how we can support our youth when they make high risk choices, because after all, they are human beings too. Va**ng and ni****ne use is a common high-risk choice made by some teens. It doesn't take long to get addicted and quitting can be tough. There's quitting support for teens that is free, confidential and smart phone accessible for youth 13yrs to 17yrs old.

It's V**E FACTS FRIDAY~ Good mental health is vital to our overall health and well-being. Studies have shown that ni****ne use, including vaping/e-cigarettes increase the symptoms of anxiety and depression. The younger someone is when they start, the more likely they are to have long term negative effects. Ni****ne re-wires the brain's reward center over time leading to psychological and physical dependence. For young ni****ne users, it can lay the foundation for a lifetime of addiction. It's important to educate our youth about the dangers of ni****ne use. Talk to your kids, they hear you. For anyone looking to quit, there's free and confidential options to support you on your journey.
