Did you know that 1 in 4 high school students surveyed has used a vape at least once in the last 30 days?
The risks of vaping include addition, lung damage, increased anxiety and stress, and neurological impacts – vaping also increases the risk of tobacco use further down the line.
The shocking new statistic is one that Public Health Manager Angela Willert says should be a wakeup call.
Willert says the rising popularity of vaping among teens is no accident.
She adds that studies show long term consequences for young people that vape, and it’s important that parents and educators join the conversation. That’s according to Public Health Manager Angela Willert.
Although upon their initial release, the long term affects of vaping were largely unknown, research has solidified the suspicion that vaping can cause long term damage.
