The rapid uptake of e-cigarettes and other vaping devices has suddenly reversed a trend of declining teen tobacco use in Minnesota, and recent data show one in five high school students use e-cigarettes, a nearly 50 percent increase since 2014. This toolkit provides tools and resources for Minnesota school staff, including administrators, educators, teachers and health services staff, who are working to address the use of e-cigarettes and other vaping products in schools. This toolkit outlines opportunities for action that can be taken by various school staff, along with resources and tools to help. E-cigarettes and other Vaping Products E-cigarettes, vapes, vape or hookah pens, e-pipes, and other vaping products are battery-powered devices that allow users to inhale, or vape, aerosolized liquid (e-juice). E-cigarettes recently surpassed conventional cigarettes as the most commonly used tobacco product among youth, [1] so it is critical that public health officials and the general public understand the potential risks of using them. Nearly all e-cigarettes contain nicotine.[2] Nicotine is highly addictive and can harm the developing adolescent brain.[1, 3, 4] Because the brain is still developing until about age 25, youth and young adult exposure to nicotine can lead to addiction and disrupt attention and learning.[1] No amount of nicotine is safe for youth.
