Vapes hook you faster than you think. 🫁⚠️
Just one vape pod can contain as much nicotine as an entire pack of cigarettes!
See the "Know the Risks" slideshow here.
Nicotine changes the teen brain, increases cravings, and makes quitting harder the longer you wait.
📲 Need help quitting?
Text DITCHVAPE to 88709
or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW
Let’s stay informed, make smart choices, and protect our health, Lobos. 💙🐺
