With an increase in vaping and marijuana potency, this video introduces parents to youth trends with tobacco, vaping and marijuana. It includes student interviews, information on what vaping is, how marijuana has changed in potency in recent years and the corresponding health risks to youth. The target audience is parents of middle and high school students and adults who work with youth. It can be aired at school-wide parent events, such as Back-to-School Night and sent home to parents in school e-newsletters as well as posted school websites and Facebook pages.
