Vaping, sometimes referred to as using e-cigarettes, is on the rise among Canadian youth. Given that this is a fairly new and controversial health behaviour there are many questions that remain with respect to its long-term health affects. Regulations concerning who can vape and where they can vape are shifting.
We’ve got a presentation that focuses on vaping, such as the:
- health risks;
- marketing and media behind it; and
- decision-making tools that students can apply in real life.
Since the legalization of cannabis in fall 2018, there's been a demand for education and information geared towards youth. The Health Promotion Unit and Mental Wellness and Substance Use Services developed a presentation with:
- facts;
- statistics;
- health impact;
- decision-making tools; and
- lower-risk guidelines.
To request any of these presentations, email health.promotion@yukon.ca.
