Avoid Nicotine
Behaviors
“Nicotine, known cognitive enhancer, also known to dramatically increase blood pressure and vasoconstriction. Not healthy for the body, just to be clear.”

Avoid Cannabis Vaping and High-THC Cannabis

“So there are a few reasons why they start based on the literature, scientific literature, and just talking to teens. One has to do with the marketing, no doubt. If you look at the marketing, it is targeting young people.”

Enforce Age Restrictions on Nicotine Sales
Behaviors
“We really do need the public. We need all the parents listening. We need educators, police officers to really enforce and regulate this age restriction because teens are getting them from vape shops really easily.”

Nicotine Replacement Therapy
Supplements
“What I've heard some my adolescent medicine colleagues have suggested is one patch and then supplement with gums and suckers and lozenges. Not as a starting. I don't mean like what we're seeing with some pouches out there like Zinn as a starter. I don't mean that. I mean as a form of treatment.”

Chewing Gum
Diet
“But then they also don't have the hand-to-mouth piece that we see that is difficult. So gum, in this case, I mean, non nicotine gum, just chewing regular gum.”

Use Distraction Strategies During Nicotine Withdrawal
Behaviors
“I've heard teenagers say that their that their withdrawal last three to four minutes. So they have a one teenager said, I have a playlist on my phone, that's each song is three to four minutes. And when I start to feel the withdrawal, I pop the music in my ears, and I go do something and I listen to the song.”

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

▷

Refusal Skills Training

Use Environmental Messaging to Discourage Vaping

Use a Designated Driver or Rideshare Instead of Driving Impaired

Use a Sober Sitter
Behaviors
“I've heard not just a designated driver, but a designated partner or a sober sitter. So this idea that you go to a party and there may be drinking going on but you make sure that there one person who sober not just for driving but to make sure that you not going home with somebody you don want to go home with.”

▷
2:00:08
Provide Condoms
Tools
“You're pretty young to start having sex, but here's a condom just in case. Why do schools have condoms in? Because they know that as much as we say it's best to delay, teens are going to.”
