OCTOBER IS HEALTHY LUNG MONTH!
Did you know?
Schooling not Juuling: Do you know the difference between a Blu, JUUL and Suorin Air? Most adults do not, but it might concern you that your teenager probably does. If you are talking about cigarettes and other vaping devices with your child, you should probably build an understanding of the available products. Teens see vaping as smoking without the negative side effects: no bad breath, no cigarette burns, less risk of cancer and other smoking-related diseases. There are, however, other risks associated with vaping.
