Youth Vaping Prevention FAQ
What is the Youth Vaping Prevention campaign?
This campaign aims to raise awareness about the dangers of youth vaping and encourage parents to talk to their kids knowing that 1 in 10 kids vape and 4,000 kids try vaping each day. To spread awareness, the American Lung Association has partnered with the Ad Council to create the “You’re the Best Person” PSA campaign. The PSAs highlight the nostalgic ways that Gen X and Millennial parents received health-related messages growing up to reinforce the idea that parents are the best people to speak to their kids about tough topics like vaping. Parents are encouraged to visit TalkAboutVaping.org to access resources, including a “Get the Facts” page and step-by-step conversation guide, to help them start the conversation with their kids about the risks of vaping today.
