Description
With vaping increasingly commonplace and recreational marijuana use normalized and promoted, young people face new and difficult pitfalls related to substance use and addiction. Misinformation and confusion persist around these topics, and debunked myths are taken as fact. Attendees at this seminar will learn to tell fact from fiction about vaping and marijuana, including the impact of the THC and nicotine industries on public perception and the implications of use on health. Attendees will also be presented with actionable tips for prevention, enabling everyone to feel they can do their part to turn the tide in this modern substance use epidemic.
Learning Objectives
- Attendees will be able to name three or more tactics used by nicotine and THC companies to directly or indirectly market to youth.
- Participants will be able to understand the health and mental health risks of nicotine and THC products for youth, and how toxins are present that are not listed on ingredient lists.
- Participants will be able to name three or more alternative THC and nicotine products currently being sold to avoid regulation by government agencies.
