Resources on Dangers of Vaping
The American Lung Association and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration agree that youth use of e-cigarettes/vapes has reached epidemic levels. We have had representatives from the Center for Family Life and Recovery speak to our students about the dangers, misconceptions, and realities associated with vaping. We encourage you to review the resources below. Our counselors are available to support students who are struggling with vaping; please do not hesitate to reach out.
