It’s never too late to stop using tobacco!
Tobacco is a plant with leaves that have a drug called nicotine that is addicting, making the body need it more and more.
-There are different types of tobacco products, like burned, battery-heated, or smokeless. Burned and heated tobacco products are breathed into the lungs, and smokeless products are chewed and sucked on.
Vapes come in attractive flavors for children, like fruits (strawberry, banana, or watermelon).
Tobacco use by children can harm their brain development and if used by pregnant women, it can harm the baby. Talk to your kids early about the health risks and avoid using tobacco while pregnant.
People who do not smoke and are in the same space as someone who smokes, like a family member or coworker, breathe in the same air and the chemicals created by cigarettes, vapes, or heated tobacco products. This can put them at risk for the same serious health conditions!
