Resources for Schools
The most effective ways for schools to help address the youth vaping epidemic are:
-
Offer an alternative-to-suspension (ATS) program for tobacco policy violations
-
Offer evidence-based tobacco and vaping education to all middle & high school students
-
Develop and implement non-punitive school policies that educate youth about tobacco and nicotine addiction and offer quitting resources designed specifically for teens
