CAMP Challenge: Escape the Vape

Welcome to Week 3 of our COCA CAMP Challenge! This week’s topic is Escape the Vape & Ways to Cope with Stress

Vaping and JUULing have reached epidemic levels among young people who often think e-cigarettes are safer to use than traditional cigarettes. But these devices commonly contain high levels of nicotine, which can set up young users for a lifetime of addiction.

This week’s CAMP Challenge focuses on teaching kids the truth about e-cigarettes, including vapes and JUUL, which are often marketed to young people by big tobacco companies. Below, we’ve compiled resources that feature healthy and fun ideas for relieving stress including DIY stress balls, relaxation and meditation videos and tips for coping.

Watch our Prevention in Pajamas parent video and download resources below on stress management and tobacco/vaping information.
