We all know that nicotine is addictive. What many teens don’t realize is that they’re more 
susceptible to addiction because their brains are still developing.

The reality is 99% of vapes contain nicotine. One-fourth of teens who get addicted to nicotine are hooked within a month; 75% are still using it 8 years later.

What are the signs of addiction?
◾️ Cravings and feeling like you need nicotine to function
◾️ Feeling sad, anxious or irritable
◾️ Withdrawal symptoms like restlessness and difficulty sleeping
◾️ Needing larger amounts of nicotine to feel satisfied
◾️ Using nicotine despite knowing the health risks

There are several programs to help teenagers stop vaping. Learn more and access resources on our Vaping Awareness webpage. Just click on the linktree in our bio 

You also can join us for a “Community Conversation About Vaping” on Wednesday, January 31 at 6:30 p.m. at the District Administrative Office, 1260 NW Waterhouse Avenue in Beaverton. Both students and parents/guardians are welcome. KATU's Angelica Thornton will moderate the discussion. We’ll be livestreaming the event on our district’s YouTube channel.
