💨 Clear the Air: Va**ng Prevention Program 💨

What’s really in a v**e? Why are va**ng rates rising among teens and young adults? How does va**ng affect your lungs, heart, and overall health?

Clear the Air is a two-part va**ng prevention initiative designed to support both youth and the adults who care for them.

While teens participate in an engaging program focused on decision-making and peer pressure, parents and caregivers gain the knowledge and tools needed to recognize risks and guide meaningful conversations at home. Together, these programs empower families with accurate information, practical strategies, and shared understanding to help youth build a healthy, nicotine-free future.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, healthcare professional, or community member, this program offers valuable information to help keep our community informed and healthy.
