Evidence-Based Vaping Research
Vaping has been marketed to young people as a safe alternative to smoking, but a growing body of evidence tells a different story. Nicotine vaping can harm the developing adolescent brain, create lasting dependency, and act as a gateway to other substance use.
OVOM brings together clear, practical information to help parents, teachers, and young people understand what vaping really involves, and how to talk about it honestly before habits take hold.
