“I don’t want to put anything in my lungs right now because I love life!” Dear PAVe Supporters, These poignant words were shared last night on one of PAVe’s teen webinars, and they underscore the urgency of our ongoing mission to protect our kids’ precious developing lungs from vaping, especially in light of COVID-19. (Click here to read what experts say about the link between COVID and vaping.) Like many of you, we remain quarantined inside our homes with our kids, a situation that can be challenging. But it also provides families with a unique opportunity to connect and communicate on a deeper level about serious issues—including the youth vaping epidemic. PAVe has gone digital since the pandemic began, offering weekly educational programming that provides teens and parents with important information about the dangers of e-cigarettes; how to talk to each other about nicotine addiction; and resources that can help kids quit. (Click here for the “Teen” page you can share with your child.) Please consider making a contribution this Giving Tuesday so we can continue our fight to protect kids from vaping and the predatory behavior of Big Tobacco. | |
