Vaping lessons for parents and caregivers

Vaping, or using e-cigarettes, is a big problem for teens and their families. The good news is, there are ways you can help your kids say no to vaping if they are pressured to try it. And if they are already vaping, there are things you can do to help them quit.

• Talk with your kids in an open and honest way.
• Focus on their health when talking with them about vaping.
• Do not focus on punishment or consequences. This could make them afraid to talk with you about what they are going through.
• Help them practice ways to say no to vaping, using their own words.
• If you need more help, talk to their doctor.
• Children’s providers want to help, and your child may be more willing to talk to them about quitting vaping.
