If you’re concerned that your teen may be vaping, educating yourself on the signs will help you identify the habit and open the door for conversation.
This awareness campaign is brought to you in partnership with Empower Tusc.
In Tuscarawas County, 5% of youth were identified as current smokers (increased to 12% in kids 17 and older). The most common tobacco products used are Vapes, Juuls, and e-cigarettes.
