The ABC Science Collaborative developed an educational resource on the risks of vapes and e-cigarettes.

The resource, titled “The ABCs of E-Cigarette Risks and Vaping,” provides answers to common questions about e-cigarettes and their negative health impacts for young people, such as addiction. It also has tips for vaping prevention and quitting vaping.

This resource was created as a result of The ABC Science Collaborative’s meetings with North Carolina school superintendents and leadership. It can be used as needed by schools across the country.
