February Parent Academy 

Clearing the Air: Teen Vaping & Smoking Prevention and Cancer Risk 
Join us for an enlightening and candid discussion aimed at helping parents and teens grasp the genuine dangers of vaping, smoking, and nicotine use. 

​

Discover the contents of vape products, the impact on developing bodies, and the reasons they pose long-term health risks. Public health and other professionals will share teen success stories and provide tips on how to spot the signs of vaping, as well as evidence-based resources to help lower or quit nicotine use. Together, we can empower teens and families to make safer choices and clear the air for a healthier future!

​

Lutheran Hospital professionals will also share ways parents can reduce their cancer risk!
