NICOTINE VAPING
HAVE YOU TALKED TO YOUR TEEN ABOUT VAPING DEVICES CONTAINING NICOTINE?
Vaping devices can contain as much nicotine as two packs of cigarettes, even those marked as zero percent nicotine have been tested to still contain nicotine. Nicotine in adolescence can harm areas of the brain that control attention, learning, mood, and impulse control.
E-cigarettes deliver a high level of nicotine very quickly. Each vape pod or disposable vape product can contain as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes. And just so you know, nicotine is one of the most addictive substances along with heroin and cocaine.
Research shows that teens who have vaped are almost four times as likely to go on to smoke traditional cigarettes.
You want to do your best in sports, and vaping may lead to lung inflammation (irritation), which can make it harder to do well in sports.
Vaping is expensive! The cost of the cartridges over time starts to add up. Instead, you could spend that money on other things you need or enjoy.
