Template Wording for Students who Vape

Hey there!

​

We understand that talking about vaping can be difficult, but it's important to be informed about the risks and resources available to help you or someone you know who might be struggling.

​

Here are some things to keep in mind about vaping:

​

• Vaping is inhaling and exhaling vapor produced by an electronic cigarette. It can be addictive and pose risks to your health, including damage to lung tissue and lung function, increased risk of respiratory infections, and possible links to heart disease and stroke.

• If you're thinking about vaping, remember that it's not a safe alternative to smoking cigarettes. If you decide to vape, only buy products from reputable sources, and don't use vaping products if you don't smoke.

• If you're struggling to quit vaping, there are resources available to help you. The New Zealand Quitline offers free support and advice on how to quit vaping. You can reach them by calling 0800 778 778 or visiting their website at quit.org.nz

• There are also resources available at vapingfacts.health.nz

 

Remember, it's okay to ask for help! If you have any questions or concerns about vaping, please don't hesitate to reach out to us or call the New Zealand Quitline.
