Roots Over Clouds: Escaping the Vape – FNHA

July 30, 2025

Nearly half of youth in BC aged 15-24 have tried vaping. Both commercial tobacco and vape products harm health, especially for young brains that continue to develop until the age of about 25. Vape products are also often a dangerous gateway to cigarette smoking.
