Healthy Tip from the Lake County General Health District
Vaping affects many aspects of the body, including physical endurance. When smoking, less oxygen gets to the heart, lungs and muscles. Vaping leads to lung inflammation which can impact how you play on the field. Be your best every time you play - say no to vaping.
In order to combat the growth of e-cigarette use among adolescents, a number of prevention and cessation services have been created, including the My Life My Quit program. Wherever you are in your quit journey, My Life My Quit coaches use motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help teens:
- Develop a quit plan.
- Identify triggers for tobacco use.
- Practice refusal skills.
- Obtain ongoing support for changing behaviors.
