Kids have been changing what's in the liquid, adding other things. But what struck me too is what she's seeing in her practice already as a pediatrician with the effects of teen vaping.
Vaping has taken a worrying hold on today’s teenagers, often without their parents even realizing it. In this eye-opening episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, host Zach Crouch sits down with experts Dr. Justin Marchegiani, Dr. Anneke Vandenbroek, and Dr. Mary Beth Fischer to shed light on the dangers of teen vaping addiction and how parents can tackle this growing issue head-on. Unlike traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes have slipped under the radar for many parents.
Teens often don’t realize that these devices contain nicotine and can lead to addiction after just a few uses. Dr. Marchegiani highlights the severe health risks, including irreversible lung damage, and points out how e-cigarette companies target teens with clever marketing tactics that make vaping seem harmless and cool. So, what can parents do? The experts stress the importance of open, honest conversations about the real dangers of vaping. Dr.
Vandenbroek suggests using resources from the Center for Disease Control to educate kids about the risks. Dr. Fischer recommends being clear about the family’s stance on vaping and sharing real-life examples of addiction’s consequences. Parents should also be vigilant for signs of vaping addiction, like irritability and declining academic performance. While teen vaping addiction is a serious issue, it's one that parents can combat with the right knowledge and strategies.
This episode offers invaluable insights and practical advice for keeping your kids safe from the allure of e-cigarettes.
