Talk to Your Teens about E-Cigarettes & Vape Pens

Helpful tips from the Surgeon General

BEFORE THE TALK

Know the facts.
Get credible information about e-cigarettes and young people at E-cigarettes.SurgeonGeneral.gov
Be patient and ready to listen.
Avoid criticism and encourage an open dialogue.
Remember, your goal is to have a conversation, not to deliver a lecture.
It’s OK for your conversation to take place over time, in bits and pieces.
Set a positive example by being tobacco-free.
If you use tobacco, it’s never too late to quit. For free help, visit smokefree.gov or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW.
