KNOW THE SIGNS OF ADDICTION

50% of Vermont teens have tried vaping.¹

Are you seeing changes in your teen’s mood or appetite? Finding cartridges and devices you don’t recognize?

Signs of Teen Nicotine Addiction:

Irritability
Less interest in activities
Talking on the telephone
Reduced appetite
New group of friends
Problems at school
Increased need for money

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, your teen may have a nicotine addiction, and it’s important to get them the support they need.

YOU AND YOUR TEEN ARE NOT ALONE

This number is alarming because of the impact nicotine can have on your teen’s health. Your teen may think vaping is better than smoking, but vape aerosol can contain as many as 31 different chemicals that can build up in your lungs over time, causing teens to get sick, or worse.

However, you don’t have to face the vaping crisis alone. Parents here and across the U.S. are getting support from services like 802Quits. Our trained team of experts and proven strategies can help give youth the confidence and tools they need to beat nicotine addiction for good.

You and Your Teen Are Not Alone

NICOTINE ADDICTION IS NOT YOUR CHILD’S FAULT

Vapes don’t produce harmless water vapor. They’re full of highly addictive nicotine—and one vape pod can have as much as an entire pack of cigarettes.

Most teens don’t know vapes contain nicotine and by the time they want to stop, it’s too late. They’re addicted.

Adolescent brains are still developing, so exposure to the nicotine in vapes can cause long-term harm by changing the way brain synapses are formed. This can permanently alter your teen’s attention span and ability to learn. Taking action quickly and partnering with your teen to create a tailored quit plan is key in helping them stop.

TAKE ACTION FAST

Without help, addiction can get worse. However, you can take steps to keep your teen’s future bright.

802Quits is confidential and has flexible, 24/7 support to fit your family’s busy lifestyle.
