Tobacco

Kids are curious, and they’re paying attention—especially when it comes to tobacco. At Parents Lead, we provide parents and caregivers with the tools to have open, honest conversations about the risks of tobacco use, including vaping and e-cigarettes.

Our resources are designed to help you share accurate information, set clear expectations, and empower your child to make healthy choices. By starting the conversation early and keeping it ongoing, you can help your child navigate peer pressure and understand the long-term impact of tobacco use.
