Today we are talking all things vaping with Selena Morresi, MPH, CTTS, CHES, from Caron Treatment Centers. Selena is the Lead Student Assistance Program Specialist and works with middle and high school students facilitating cessation programs to support youth to be nicotine free. In our conversation today we talked about when kids may try vaping for the first time, why it is so addictive and harmful, how it is not the same as “old school cigarettes,” and how to talk to your kids about vaping. We also discuss the Juul, Puffbar, and sneaky sweatshirts...join us!
Caron’s mission is to transform lives impacted by drug and alcohol addiction through proven, evidence-based, comprehensive, and personalized behavioral healthcare. Caron also offers prevention and education programs for schools and communities.
