Do You Know the Dangers of Vaping?

DO YOU KNOW THE DANGERS OF VAPING?

Dear Boise School District Parent/Guardian & Staff:

If you don’t know the difference between a JUUL, e-hookah, and a vape pen, you’re not alone. However, a growing number of teenagers know the difference.

Locally, we’ve seen an increase in incidents involving student vaping. Due to the negative health effects vaping can have on our students, we take this issue very seriously and want you to be aware of the dangers.

Use the following resources when speaking to your child about the risks and consequences associated with vaping and plan to attend our Parent Night to learn more.

Dangers of e-cigarettes, vaping and JUULs: How to talk to kids

With the increase in incidents involving student vaping, we will continue to take a proactive approach in providing educational resources related to the harmful effects of vaping to both students and families.

WHAT YOU CAN DO?

ATTEND PARENT NIGHT

Plan now to attend a free Parent Night to learn more about vaping and the dangers and health risks associated with what the U.S. Surgeon General describes as a " national epidemic ".

If you feel your child has already developed an addiction to nicotine, we suggest you reach out to your health care provider. Working together with our school administrators, counselors, nurses, staff and parents, we can help educate students about the harmful effects of vaping.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Sincerely,

Boise School District Administration
