vaping and teens
vaping and teens
Vaping puts nicotine into the body. Nicotine is highly addictive and can: slow brain development in teens and affect memory, concentration, learning, self-control, attention, and mood. This can increase the risk of other types of addiction later in life.
Parents: Be aware of signs your child may be vaping; mood swings, agitation, impulsivity, secretiveness, memory loss, inability to concentrate and anxiety are some of the key changes you may see.
