Talking to Your Children About E-Cigarettes
Canadian health department advises parents to discuss e-cigarettes with their children due to their addictive nature and health risks.

The health department in the Simcoe Muskoka region of Canada is advising parents to talk to their children about vaping.


Health officials in the Simcoe Muskoka District of Canada are urging parents to have conversations with their children about the dangers of e-cigarettes as early as possible, as children may feel pressure to try them. According to the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU), children are learning about e-cigarettes through YouTube users and TikTok, and the candy and fruit flavors and high-tech designs of e-cigarettes make them particularly appealing to teenagers.


Electronic cigarettes are highly addictive. Nicotine addiction can cause children to experience mood swings and anxiety, making them more likely to start smoking and experiment with other drugs.


Electronic cigarettes also pose other health risks. They can cause lung damage and alter the brains of children, making it more difficult for them to learn and remember. The vapor emitted from e-cigarettes is not just harmless water vapor.


As parents or guardians, you play a crucial role in encouraging your children to adopt a tobacco-free lifestyle, free of electronic cigarettes.
