What Parents Should Know

Sometimes called "vape(s)" or "nic", are battery-powered devices that deliver nicotine, flavoring and other chemicals to the user. 


Most e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive. Adolescent use of nicotine can harm brain development, impact learning, memory and attention. 


E-cigarettes come in many different shapes and sizes. Most e-cigarettes used by youth look like pens, flash drives, and other common every day items that youth use. See images below to see common e-cigarettes. 


You have an important role in protecting your children from e-cigarettes. Talk to your child or teen about e-cigarettes and its harm. Download conversation guide.
