More than 27 v**es are thrown away every second, amounting to more than 850 million v**es that end up in the street or the landfill each year. Each disposable e-cigarette contains a lithium battery, which can explode and lead to fires, as well as chemicals that can leak into the environment. E-cigarettes left on the street eventually break down into microplastics and chemicals that flow into the storm drains to pollute our waterways.

When people quit ni****ne, they’re helping reduce the amount of electronic waste that ends up in the environment while also breaking free from addiction.

October is Let’s Talk Month, an initiative that focuses on the opportunity for parents, guardians, and children to learn how to communicate honestly and openly about relationships and other health topics. Research shows that adolescents prefer to receive education from trusted adults. Children who talk with parents and trusted adults about relationships and health issues are less likely to engage in risky health behaviors.
