🚨 New position paper from the International Pediatric Association (IPA) highlights that E-ci******es are NOT a safe cigarette alternative, and state that they’re a growing threat to global youth health.

Despite at times being marketed as a smoking cessation tool, e-ci******es deliver highly addictive ni****ne in forms that increase dependence — especially in children, adolescents, and young people.

The IPA's latest position paper highlights:
✔️A surge in youth va**ng, fueled by misleading ads, flavored products, and social media access
✔️No strong evidence that e-ci******es help adults quit smoking
✔️E-ci******es strongly linked to heart, lung, metabolic, oral diseases, and even cancer
✔️Dual use (va**ng + smoking) leads to even greater health risks

📢 The IPA is calling for stronger global regulations, for pediatricians and medical associations to lead education and advocacy, and for governments to act on science — not industry pressure.

Is va**ng a trick or treat? Don’t let the va**ng industry trick you into thinking va**ng is not harmful.
* E-cigarette aerosol is NOT harmless “water vapor.”
* Some substances found in e-cigarette aerosol may be linked to an increased risk of cancer.

A big thank you to the amazing 5th grade students and teachers at Wabash Middle/High School for allowing us to be a part of your morning!

Brandi, from the Wabash County Indiana Health Department, and Suzanne, with Wabash County To***co Free Coalition, truly appreciated the opportunity to talk with you about the dangers of vapes, smokeless to***co, and ci******es. They covered how these products can lead to addiction, the impact they have on your health, and even how much money they can cost over time.

Your attention, questions, and participation made the experience very rewarding. It’s inspiring to see young students taking steps toward a healthier future.

We had an incredible day presenting to the Southwood High School Health classes!

We talked about the real impacts of vapes, smokeless to***co, ci******es, and ni****ne—from the science behind addiction to the marketing tricks used to target young people.

The students had excellent questions and shared their thoughts. They were challenged to "KNOW why they say NO" —to make informed choices for their health.

It’s conversations like these that empower the next generation to build a healthier, ni****ne-free future.

We had a fantastic morning presenting to the Southwood Elementary 5th graders about the dangers of ci******es, vapes, and smokeless to***co. They learned how these substances can harm the brain and body and even got to see real pig lungs to understand how smoking affects our lungs.
The students discovered that vapes aren’t harmless, smokeless to***co isn’t safe, and ni****ne can seriously impact their growing brains. It’s never too early to learn how to make smart, healthy choices.
Thank you for the photos, Mrs. N.
