Overview


Youth e-cigarette use remains at an epidemic level. This prevention-forward digital learning experience gives today’s students core knowledge around the dangers associated with using e-cigarettes and offers resources to help young people quit if they already vape. The need for vaping prevention programs is particularly timely given that a recent study showing that young people who have vaped may be more likely to test positive for coronavirus.

Hear Why Teachers & Students Love This Course

I really commend the 'tone' of the modules and applaud the final slides that summarize the key points about personal choice - No 'preaching' -- that's GOOD! Of all the worthy courses EVERFI offers - this vaping one may be the most relevant, immediate, and important one. Great job.

“The EVERFI course, “Vaping: know the truth,” helped me understand the material I was learning in class by connecting it to real-life, using an excellent use of examples and real stories. This course not only informed me about important topics today, such as vaping, but it also showed me how I can encourage change in the world.

Myself and others at the school realized that the resource was having an impact when a student who normally vapes was able to see that it was doing more harm than good.
