Escape the E-Cigarette: A Platform for Teenagers to Openly Discuss Health and Behavior
URMC is launching a free online program called "e-cigarette Escape" to provide a platform for teens to openly discuss with experts.

According to a report by WROC on October 19th, the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) is set to launch a free event called "e-cigarette Escape." This initiative aims to target teenagers and provide them with a platform to openly engage in conversations with health and behavior experts.


Dr. Susan Gasparino, from the Rochester Medical Center, stated in an interview, "We strongly encourage adolescents and their parents to be honest with each other. The initial marketing of e-cigarettes has incorporated attractive colors and flavors, which has sparked the interest of teenagers, unaware of its highly addictive nature.


The "Escape from E-Cigarettes" campaign will commence on October 25th, completely free and available for participation online.
