Vaping 101 Tobacco Prevention For Parents

Nebraska Total Care partnered with No Limits Nebraska to offer an overview of Tobacco Prevention for parents. The Vaping 101 YouTube video overviews the youth e-cigarette epidemic, the effects of e-cigarettes & laws, strategies to support your child, signs your teen may be vaping, talking with your child about vaping, tools for cessation and tobacco prevention.

Members were informed of the types of benefits that can be accessed for youth tobacco cessation. You will gain helpful tools to be informed on the current trends with teen tobacco use and work together to reduce the initiation and use of tobacco by our youth.

Did you know? Interesting Fact

Did you know that one in 25 Nebraska High School students first tried cigarette smoking (even 1-2 puffs) before the age of 13? While this is lowest since 2016, this percentage needs to get to zero.

Nearly two-thirds of tobacco-using students have tried to quit (64%). Check out the 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey for more on this topic and other related topics.

Youth Testimonials

“Hello Senator, Tobacco is destroying teen lives. Seeing a fellow classmate struggle with addiction is a hard fight. Please help end addiction and save our lives.”

“Mr. Vargas, Just wanted to say, I support the fight against tobacco. I know over 5 people who either vape, smoke tec. while it’s their choice on what they do, it becomes a problem when others are dragged in. When my classmate passes out in the bathroom, everyone is up and involved. Either from vaping or drugs, their health problems become everyone’s problems. Vape if you want but don’t do it to the point of passing out in the bathroom. Good luck!”

“A fellow friend of mine is by all means a great kid. However, he got flooded and influenced by the wrong audience and now is hooked on vapes by the age of 15. This HAS to STOP? Influences become bad habits.”
